My sister asked me if I was going to write a blog post about fasting on Yom Kippur and whether it might not be the most appropriate thing to do for people who suffer or are in recovery from an eating disorder. I thought this was a really interesting question. While I haven’t read literature […]
Article originally published on recoverywarriors.com. Buffets used to make me nervous. So did parties with large amounts of food. These were just some of the issues I faced when I followed a very restrictive eating pattern (I can also include refusing to go to brunch with my family one weekend, ordering separately from my friends […]
Last Saturday I was on my way home from a particularly intense spin class, when hunger started to set in. You know, that post-workout hunger that is at first nonexistent because of all the adrenaline running through your system, but then hits out of nowhere and suddenly you’ll do something drastic in order to get […]
Good morning friends! Happy Labor Day Weekend. A long weekend filled with BBQs, group meals, ever-present food platters, and a constant supply of alcohol. Super fun? Yes.

My inspiration for this post came from the fact that as a recent graduate who hasn’t yet started […]

According to Time.com, this is also one of the most commonly broken resolutions. It’s not so hard to understand why, because losing weight requires a lifestyle change, which takes […]
So this morning when I woke up, I was craving a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat which would require about 2 minutes of my time and enable me to do my work quickly. Instead, though, Conrad expressed a desire for pancakes and French toast, and I suddenly wanted nothing but pancakes. […]
I know Thursday isn’t Christmas, but this dessert is a little bit naughty and a little bit nice ;-). As always, I wanted to make a dessert that was healthy at its core, so you can get your sweet fix without feeling all the repercussions of a dish that’s super heavy in fat and refined […]
