I recently read a newsletter from a dean at my son’s college about students learning how to deal with failure, and in so doing, learning how to “fail better.” Apparently this phrase (attributed to writer Samuel Beckett) has become sort of a cool catch phrase these days. While learning how to “fail better” certainly has its applicability to today’s youth, I started to think about how important it is in the context of weight loss as well, not to mention life in general. Learning to FAIL...

Will it help me lose weight?” And other times, the question is a bit more frantic, like: “I weighed myself this morning and I was a pound more than I was yesterday! I am so upset.”
The decision of how often to weight...

The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans came out last month. They are released every 5 years with the new dietary recommendations based on all the current research. I know people get very frustrated because one day we are telling you to avoid something and later change the recommendation. Throughout my 24 years of teaching nutrition, I have had to change my recommendations numerous times. This can be frustrating as a professional as well. I remember when all fat was bad, then there...

A Dish of Fish
One of the greatest challenges of our patients is getting enough protein from a solid source that is tolerated well. The best solution to this problem is adding more fish to your diet. Fish is one of the best tolerated sources of protein. Not only is it tolerated well, but fish offers great nutritional benefit.
Of course, it offers protein. Fish provides about 7 grams of protein per ounce which is equivalent to what you would...

Taking Over the Garden
AAAhhhh, Summer Gardens. I grew up with a huge garden. I have such great memories of bountiful zucchini, tomatoes and lettuce…I have had my own. Unfortunately, I don’t have the green thumb that my dad had. I was never around enough to water adequately, nor did I have the know how to ward off all the bugs that enjoyed the benefits of the garden more than I did. I can handle small pots of vegetables and do OK with that. Someday...
