Emotional Triggers to Overeating
“I’m bored, I’m stressed, here’s a box of cookies, let’s feast.” Many clients tell me that emotional eating and stress are their biggest triggers to overeating. The reasons for mindless eating include environmental and social cues. Yet some of the causes of overeating come from within. Food cravings often stem from an inner yearning to be made whole. This inner voice says, “I need something more to feel complete.”

Loving It? McDonald’s Seeks to Improve Nutrition Image
Seemed like everywhere we went this summer in France, Krakow, and Prague we saw McDonald’s fast food restaurants and signage. While in France I read that McDonald's corporate earnings were up for the second quarter of 2011 in the US and in Europe by 5%. Not a surprise. Reminds me of other rates that are going up. Overweight and obesity have doubled globally in the last 30 years to nearly 1.5 billion people. And where there are larger numbers of fast food restaurants (in the US) people are heavier.

Getting a Handle on Overweight and Obesity
This morning I got up early (very early) to get the facts on overweight and obesity. I wanted to satisfy my curiosity about what’s going on with this worldwide phenomenon and share what I learned with you. I discovered that there is a debate about whether the US is the fattest country in the world. Some Pacific Islands and countries in the Middle East exceed us. Still, the US is the fattest country in the developed world, if we are to believe a 2010 report.

Using Restaurant Labels to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain
The first thing that caught my eye on the menu was, “Mom’s Ricotta Meatballs & Spaghetti.” Then, I glanced down and gasped at its 1,190 calories, almost my whole day’s worth of calories on my daily 1,200 weight loss plan. As I rescanned the menu I spied the Pan-seared Branzino, one of my favorite fishes, and noted that it was 570 calories, less than half of the Meatballs and Spaghetti. I chose the fish. The Branzino, with its grape tomatoes and white cannellini bean topping, tasted delicious.
