The myth of the "plateau"
Its in times like these that I am drawn to the concepts outlined in the book, Peaks and Valleys, by Spencer Johnson. To break down the central concept to its basest level, this is what I took from it:
The decisions we make today are what effect the outcomes tomorrow
During the good times, we make decisions on what is happening to us right now, when things are really good, we never think of the bad times because when you're on top, you will always be on top. This... Continue reading ...

Gettin’ Real-Emotional Eater Workout
I will be the first to admit when things
get tough in life or I get stressed, I turn to food for comfort. It’s that one “friend”
that will never let you down. That is until you are done and realize what you
did and how guilty and worse you feel for allowing yourself to lose control.
However there now seems to be a more
powerful force in my life other then food. It’s the force and will to be
healthy and happy.
On Wednesday after already miss... Continue reading ...

There are things I can't function without, then there are
things I say I can't function without. The former is sleep, good food and
exercise, the latter is a cup of Tim Hortons coffee. I love the coffee, the smell,
the taste, but more likely I enjoy the social aspect of a cup of coffee. But

I'd love me a chocolate dipped or a walnut crunch, I might

Short Cut #1: Eat a sensible meal before the party.
You should always arrive at parties with a full stomach. I realize that this goes against the popular trend of starving yourself before a party, and that's exactly why most people gain weight.

Short Cut #2: Bring a healthy dish to share.
Don't worry if the party that you're going to...

It's that time of year again. Coffee shops everywhere have begun
to peddle their holiday beverages. With names as enticing as peppermint,
gingerbread, pumpkin pie, and eggnog, it's no wonder that these drinks are top
sellers. However, don't be fooled. If it smells like a dessert, tastes like a
dessert and is named after a dessert…it's a dessert. It just happens to come in
a cup.
Most holiday beverages contain close to 500 calories and may contain as much as
29 grams of fat.

Hey, Ryan here,
Have you ever wondered why you can't say no to the donuts, muffins, chips and fries that surround you everyday? If you have then you will want to read this best seller, The End of Overeating, by David A. Kessler.
And i bet you're asking yourself- do I really need to read yet another book on weight loss? Well, if it's called The End of Overeating, by Dr. Kessler then the answer is yes- this book is both his diagnosis of the problem and his prescription for its treatment. I read... Continue reading ...
