Can you wear scrubs at work as a rehab therapist? They tend to be baggie and have elastic waists so they could last work for awhile.

Are they good for you, bad for you, or somewhere in between? As a Ph.D.-trained nutritional biochemist and a full-time nutrition coach, I've long been…

Chicken Tikka (not tikka masala which adds the high cal gravy) loads of protein and yummy. The word Tikka means bits, piecces or chunks. Chicken Tikka is an easy-to-cook dish in which chicken chunks are marinated in special spices and then grilled on skewers. This is one of India's most popular dishes. Chicken Tikka can…

Try psyllium husks. I like the ones from Trader Joe's. Mix with water and drink fast. Tons of fiber. Some info: Psyllium husk or isphagula is the covering of seeds grown on the plant, Plantago Psyllium, which flourishes in the Middle East. Psyllium husk has long been recognized as an excellent means of getting more dietary…

With all of that you are not sedentary.

A lot of detox programs are just expensive ways to sell you two things you can buy for cheap on their own: Psyllium husks and probiotics. If you are near a Trader Joe's you can buy Trader Joe's Secrets of the Psyllium for under 10 bucks for a months supply and yogurt or Kefir (great probiotic sources) for a few bucks and…

Give him treats before and after you exercise. He will begin to associate your exercise with a treat and look forward to you working out.

A tailor can do wonders. Especially with your nicer items.

I've been walking... walking a lot. Every break at work is a walk. Plus, one or two walks with the dog after work. Long hikes with the dog on the weekend. Nice to get outside. Dog is very happy about the walks. Loves them. I find having the fitbit helps out as it tracks your progress and give you goals. I'm shooting for…

I'm a social drinker. Usually have two or three drinks when I go out with friends. Since I have started to count my calories, I'm definitely drinking a less and being more selective about it. I'm keeping things in moderation. Going out tonight? Work out a little harder and don't have that high calorie snack during the day.
