No matter how you define it, most people want to STOP. In the Harvard Menta...

I noticed a lot of new people at my health club around the first of the year. Yesterday, there weren’t as many. By the end of the month, they will be gone. According to John Norcross and James Pro...

If you live in the US, you have just passed one of the holiday hurdles. Did you have any strategies to help you get through Thanksgiving and manage to avoid overeating? It's good to review what worked and what didn't, so that you can learn. I had a plan and stuck with it for the most... Self Help Carol Solomon Thu, 22 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=24185&ca=Self+Help I am reading a book recommended by a woman in my Small Group Coaching Program called "The 20-Minute Break", by Ernest Rossi. This book is based on 2 decades of research testing on human performance. What the researchers found was that our bodies periodically give us physiological clues about how to...

Last week I went to my first holiday party, not counting Thanksgiving of course. It got me thinking about what strategies I use to manage my eating during these “potentially” treacherous times. There are 3 basic strategies. First of all, you can “save up” calori... Wellness, Fitness and Diet Carol Solomon Tue, 25 Oct 2005 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=16349&ca=Wellness%2C+Fitness+and+Diet Research has shown that change occurs through a process, through a series of stages. There is a certain “readiness” to the change process. Knowing what stage you are in is helpful to create success with any kind of change. If you attempt to make a change you are not ready for, you are setting yourse...

Low Carb everything! I could see the value in reducing carbs LONG before it became the latest craze. The fact that new products are being developed is a good thing.

Even though it's a documentary, this film is far from boring. This film is not only educational and eye-opening, but entertaining. If you rent it (I got it from the library), be sure to watch all the bonus f...

We all have lapses. How well you manage it depends on how you think about it, what you focus on and what you do afterwards. First, think about it as a temporary lapse, not as a relapse that erases everything you have been working for...

I have often said that food (simple carbs and sugar) are as addictive as drugs and alcohol. Although, I try not to limit myself to a low-carb lifestyle (I now know that restricting any food only backfires), I do kno...
