Does your holiday routine feel more like a curse than a celebration ? You are not alone.
It’s no secret that December is a tough month for many people. On the one hand, it’s full of fun: presents, parties, sweets, and seeing loved ones. And on the other hand, it’s exhausting. We all do our best to stay afloat among the sea of extra activities such as cooking, baking, shopping, sending cards and attending holiday parties.

The turkey. The stuffing. The mashed potatoes and yams with marshmallows. The buttery gravy. The green beans. The pies.
It’s THANKSGIVING!!!!!
And here’s a recommendation from your friendly holistic nutritionist, moi:
Go ahead and enjoy your Thanksgiving meal to the fullest.
Literally.
Stuff yourself like the turkey if it makes you happy, and take that tryptophan-and-sugar-crash-induced nap.
The Great Coffee Conundrum: Good or Bad for You?

Today, a workshop participant of mine asked a great question and I wanted to share it as it may help some of you, my blog readers, as well.
The Question
“I haven’t always been a coffee drinker but I do enjoy it now though not every day. I’m very specific in my tastes (organic soy lattes with high quality espresso) and when I have it (not before breakfast, not after noon). Espresso has much less caffeine than drip coffee although a bit more than black tea but I find that the milk really helps even out its impact on my body. I rarely ever feel like I get a sharp spike- it’s more of a even keeled pick up- nor do I experience coffee headaches, cold sweats or any of the other common side effects coffee drinkers report. So I’m curious what you think about my coffee choice. Still totally horrible?”
The Proof is in the Pudding! EAT SLOW, CHEW WELL.

A former client of mine sent me this FANTASTIC chart that plots time spent eating per day vs. the national obesity rate in several countries. It’s so very telling. Notice where the U.S. falls in this chart. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Click here for the Chart (Economix, NY Times Blog)
We tend to wolf our food down, barely chewing or realizing what we’re really eating, and then wonder why we crave sweets, why we crash at 3-4pm, why we’re sick, and why we’re fat.
