MJ is about to bust a new low on her fat loss – a period of time she has self – sabotaged in the past.  She sent me a pic of her summary of our consultation:  

Sheri’s Rants # 53: Slow Down, You Move Too Fast

September 4, 2011 by

By the time I’d received my last wake- up call, I was spending a great deal of my earnings to maintain my body so that I could continue to over-work.  Weekly appointments for acupuncture, therapeutic massage, chiropractic, and a naturopathic doctor – it was now costing me a pretty penny to keep my overwhelmed endocrinal […]

Sheri’s Rants # 52: The Moderation Myth

July 3, 2011 by

3

Moderation is a popular concept that has been promoted by the food industry. They had a slogan that went like this: “There’s room for all kinds of food in a healthy diet.” The promoted idea is that people can eat anything they want, as long as the foundation of the diet is healthy.  Unfortunately, what […]

Sheri’s Rants # 51: Appetite and Attitude

This remarkable article was sent to me by Liz H in California.  It is a MUST READ. In GT we encourage folks to switch from ‘poo’ – or processed food – to whole, real food.  We get a lot of whining about how folks ‘miss gourmet food’ and have cravings for something ‘substantial’ – which […]

Sheri’s Rants #50: Sex, Road Trips, and Stress

May 29, 2011 by

Here’s advice given to me as a young woman:  Never have sex with someone you wouldn’t go on a cross country road trip with. This made astounding sense to me at the time – often flummoxed as I was about the (predictable) consequences of becoming intimate too early in a relationship.  Once I gave this […]

Sheri’s Rants # 49: Deprivation and Perspective

December 28, 2010 by

0

Folks with dieting histories tend to talk about deprivation quite a bit. That’s because historically diets are about eating a very limited range of (frequently non-) foods, and eating very little.   So between the hunger of a suffering metabolism and the limited range of food choices, all sorts of negative emotion comes up.   […]

Sheri’s Rants #48: WILL POWER DOESN’T WORK!

Christmas is in a few days – and I want to bring your attention to the fact that it’s not Christmas you have to look out for in terms of eating clean.  Many many people are successful in staying clean and taking good care of themselves on Christmas; it’s usually a day we plan heavily […]

“Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.” Charles Kuralt The brilliant thing about the interstate system is, of course, the speed of travel.  No stoplights, pedestrian traffic, bike lanes, or tractors.  The speed limit is consistent and high.  Gas stations […]

Sheri’s Rants # 46: Twinkie Diet ‘works’ for Professor

November 10, 2010 by

(CNN) — Twinkies. Nutty bars. Powdered donuts. For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, […]

Sheri’s Rants # 45: Grousin’ in the Graveyard

October 31, 2010 by

In the middle of a recent busy morning I took a break – a stroll through a large neighboring graveyard.  Ruminating on my whelming workload I was completely caught up in ‘she said this and now I have to do that and then they will act out there and I’ll be damned if…’ My brain […]
