My kids are not big seafood fans. Not that I can blame them. Fish revolted me until I reached my teens. In fact, I have yet to forgive my mother for telling me fried clams were French Fries. The rubbery texture haunts me to this day.

If you do take up competitive endurance sports, you probably will find yourself losing weight pretty quickly. A hard run or spin class may even make you feel sick to your stomach. Just stand near the food tent after any large endurance event and you will see more than a few athletes upchucking their post-event snacks. When your body is in a great deal of pain, you may end up vomitting. Oprah Winfrey has famously given her audience members advice not to eat after 5PM, but don't do this is if you are a working mother, who also works out.

Is losing weight at the top of your New Year’s Resolution list?  These baby steps will help improve your odds of success

Welcome back! This next tip is one that my clients have used and have loved for years. It’s saved them thousands of calories, kept their judgment in tact and caused them to leave parties feeling great about their choices, their portions and their behaviors.

Planning on hosting quests this holiday season?  Quiche is a great idea for a Sunday brunch or breakfast for company.  It’s quick and easy to make, and is even better the next day.  Because it takes about an hour to cook, I make mine on a Sunday and keep for quick weekday dinners and lunches.  I also like to make three or four at one time, cook one and freeze the rest for another day.

Today's Holiday Mojo Tip is all about being a...food snob! What's a food snob? It's someone who is very choosy about what they're having and what they've decided to let go of in order to strike the perfect balance and prevent weight gain this holiday season. Here's a video with a few examples to explain...

I’m a crazy holiday binger. Yes, I am that girl at the cocktail party hording Hors d’Oeuvres and cramming chocolates into her mouth. It ain’t pretty.  However, I just love miniature pastry-shrouded food that can be passed around on a plate. How often can I call such fun fare “dinner”?

Since I don’t plan on missing a single mini-quiche this year, I try to eat more sensibly in between parties, and maintain a solid exercise routine. I call it “Detox to Retox.”
