Good nutrition starts at your local grocery store. (For me and Jeannie that is our local HEB and Kroger here in Pearland or Central Market in Houston.) That first step to healthy living and eating is choosing those great tasting, healthy choice foods. Knowing just how to select the best foods for your kitchen involves some (just a bit) of planning and know-how. The average … [Read more...]

First it was Subway…, then the Cookie Diet…., but just when I thought I had seen it all - Taco Bell comes out with a diet plan to help people lose weight... (come on now!!! are you kidding!?!)

Relief and prevention of pain and inflammation. Omega 3 fish oil fatty acids, … [Read more...]

There is never a week that goes by that I don’t get at least one of our clients ask me what lunch options they have due to their work habits. Whether that is parked in an office chair, driving from point A to point B, construction, etc… every job has its own nutritional land mines (Yes, even mine!). Business lunches. Missed meals. Off the wall hours. Here are … [Read more...]
Carbs, carbs, carbs. That's what everyone seems to want to talk about. How do I avoid carbs? Well, what you should be talking about instead is, "How do I get more lean Protein into my eating plan?"

Many of the questions I receive weekly revolve around healthy eating options … most particularly options to eat “on the go” or out with the family. What to order… How to order… Do you eat half and bring the rest home for later… Or better yet … what local Pearland restaurants have healthy options. One of the places my family and I frequent is Which Wich … a delicious ‘wich’ … [Read more...]
It is always a real eye opener when I get outside around Pearland and get to talking with my fellow residents about fitness and nutrition. The stories I hear are outrageous, some even scary about what people do to have a firm, fit body. I rarely can go on these type of adventures without getting asked about the many different diets out there, weight watchers, south beach diet, nutrisystem, … [Read more...]
This morning I was going over a food journal of one of my Personal Training clients (something which all of you should be doing!!!). And a few days this past week she ate cereal … one of those “heart healthy” ones. As most of you should know, I’m not what you call a fan of cereals. Reason: Grab a box of almost any cereal, including those “healthy” ones…and what you will … [Read more...]
IHOP, Denny's, or Mimi's. On our end of Pearland and Shadow Creek Ranch that is pretty much the only three places that you can find those much craved pancakes. I don't think I have to go on a long speal here on pancakes and what the negative side effects they can (and will) do towards your weight loss & fitness results. But what if...that pancake craving could actually be met? And in a … [Read more...]

(this can become a tricky answer...as you will see below) My first response....any protein immediately following a workout is better than none. But I also follow that with an additional response...."Some proteins are better than … [Read more...]
Okay, I do live in reality. I know that yall will probably find your way thru some drive thru or fast food joint here in Pearland.

As we all are aware of....there are only a handful of actual restaurants here in Pearland. I mean the sit down ones where you don't feel like cattle being rushed thru service, food, and ticket.... The fast majority....fast food and or quick food. But no worries...okay, well not as much worries - things don't need to be a high-fat, high cholesterol, nutrition nightmare. It is possible to … [Read more...]
"Eat that good quality breakfast!" That is what many of you hear me bark out at the end of the morning bootcamps. (and for the evening bootcamps that turns to dinner rather than breakfast) Daily that will turn to a question of what do I suggest... with my list items one of those comes as a suggestion of a smoothie (aka supplement drink). Usually then I will be asked about Smoothie King and … [Read more...]
I have to say...at least once a month I get asked about Hummus. That being if it is on the "okay list" of foods to eat. From all standards...absolutely! Hummus is a health food choice that is protein rich, and contains "good for you fat". It's a blend of chickpeas and tahini (seasame paste) flavored with lemon juice and garlic. I would suggest using hummus as a healhty spread as a smart … [Read more...]
