Our best lessons are learned through making mistakes, and growing through hard experiences. It’s hard to reflect on an experience when you’re living in it though. It’s only recently that I’ve been able to reflect and really understand how I ended up where I am today.
Then
In 2015, I was living in Fredericton, New Brunswick in a super cozy apartment I loved. I was running online group programs, and had an office downtown where I ran my […]
Watching the clock for the next feeding time is just part of going on a diet to lose weight. You may have been told six small meals per day is best. That eating every few hours keeps the metabolism going, and to lose weight, you better be careful not to go into starvation mode. In this article I’m going to offer a different approach, and bust that myth once and for all.
Small meals at 7am, 10am, 12pm, […]
In part 1 of this 3 part series, I suggested the 3 key nutrients to include in your meals to help you stay satisfied, and take in a good balance for your daily requirements:
Protein (meat, fish, eggs, some dairy or plant based sources like beans and lentils)
Fat (nuts, seeds, oils, avocado)
Carbohydrates (starchy vegetables, fruit or whole grains)
And allll the vegetables your heart desires of course! (which include a negligible amount of carbohydrates, and […]
Spring is in the air!! Which means, wanting to lose weight is also in the air. With bikini-bod magazine ads starting to hit the shelves, it’s starting to become top of mind for most. I totally get wanting to shed some extra winter pounds.
I also want to support you in finding a way of eating that keeps you:
Healthy
Happy (aka you love the way you’re eating and feeling so you keep going and KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF)

It’s Monday. And you are feeling awesome.
Your lunch is packed. You have your water bottle in hand. You walked by your coworker’s candy bowl without even salivating or glancing back.
You’re rolling along happily like this until Thursday.
Thursday. Your salad and chicken are tasting pretty gross if we’re being honest. You’re counting down the minutes until your weekend glass of wine.
Friday. Ugh. Thank God it’s Friday. You melt into the couch with your glass of wine (finally!), and 2 glasses […]
Meal planning and prep.
I’ve been going on about how important both are for years. And I’m sure you’ve heard it elsewhere. As far as nutrition strategies go for staying consistent with healthy eating, meal planning and prep take the top.
With a game plan and healthy options readily available, it’s much easier to stay on course.
But what happens when you don’t have time to do either? And you need to wing it?
Instead of throwing in the […]
Snacking and overeating is one of the main reasons people fail to lose weight.
Do you ever feel out of control with food, only wanting a handful, and then before it’s too late you have finished off the bag? You repeat this cycle night after night or weekend after weekend and can’t seem to get a handle on it.
Maybe you’re even one of those people who has a vision of a healthier slimmer self, and ended […]

I want to make your life easier (and yummier!)

Are you getting ready to “Get On Track” in January?
I’ve already heard from many who are.
Sadly, that way of thinking is a recipe for inconsistency, overeating, and struggle. It’s a perfect storm for overeating, and endless weight and habit yo-yo’ing.
Getting on Track is another term for restriction. Restriction is one of the biggest predictors of overeating, binge eating, and food/body obsession.
The All or Nothing cycle keeps you spinning.
It keeps you from consistency year round.
It prevents you from balance.
In Video 1, I […]
