RULE: Learn to Like Foods You Don’t Like

I get it. You don’t like brussels sprouts, farro seems foreign, and why would anyone order seaweed salad? To my astonishment, there are tons of foods I am now LOVING that I wouldn’t have even tried on a ‘triple-dog-dare’ a few years ago.  That’s because a few years ago I thought I knew what I liked and didn’t like. Don’t we all have periods in … Continue reading RULE: Learn to Like Foods You Don’t Like

RECIPE : Tuna Salad

I’ll be honest, I’ve had an aversion to tuna salad my whole life because the only tuna I’d met came from a can and smelled like dog food. After college I lived with 3 girls, two of whom ate canned foul smelling-dog-food-tuna fish far too often.  I found it nauseating. Thankfully, I came to know and love tuna sashimi; which I eat it far too … Continue reading RECIPE : Tuna Salad

RANT: Sugar and Spice and everything Nice

Several of you have asked me about sweeteners.  As a hard core sugar-addict myself, I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting (ahem, ingesting) sugar.  There are lots of sweetening options out there both artificial and natural. BOTTOM LINE: You have a fixed number of fat cells, it’s how big they get that effects your weight. Sugar and refined carbs (like breads, pastas, crackers, chips, cookies, … Continue reading RANT: Sugar and Spice and everything Nice

RANT: Packaged Meals

I worked around 110 hours a week and I gained like 11 pounds in the first month of my medical training.  I didn’t even notice because I was so exhausted—plus, the scrubs we wore, allowed you to,  unknowingly go up 4 sizes, and still fit in to your cinch-able scrub pants. My diet consisted entirely of individually wrapped graham crackers and peanut butter tubs (which were … Continue reading RANT: Packaged Meals
