Getting Healthy With A Plan
June 11, 2012
By Guest Blogger
When I embarked on my journey of transformation, I approached it like I was packing for a vacation. I made lists, Excel spreadsheets and binders with recipes for easy reference. Having attempted to get my weight under control many times, only to fail, I took an inventory of what had gone wrong in those instances. I wanted to learn how I could avoid those pitfalls again. My unsuccessful forays were marred by disorganization; I would… Read More >
Shining a Light on Body Image
February 28, 2012
By Guest Blogger
Body image is more than your goal weight or how your legs are defined; it’s fully enjoying the mystery and pleasure of the body and of your life as a whole. This includes being comfortable in your femininity, your sexuality and giving your authentic gifts — not what society thinks you “should be” doing. Controlling the body and weight is often a subconscious surrogate for trying to control uncertainty. Fear and doubt arise about what… Read More >
One Size Does Not Fit All
October 24, 2011
By Guest Blogger
I’m fat. Not size-14, average-American-woman fat. Really fat. And I am healthy. Why? I would say I am healthy because I strive to maintain a vegan diet. This was not always the case. I used to have high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, migraine headaches (weekly) and a general fear of my body caving in on me. I got some test results, and I was upset. I didn’t want to take medication for the rest… Read More >
5 Steps to Love Your Body
July 18, 2011
By Laurie Gerber
Summer is undeniably a good time to deal with your body. We are all, the willing and the unwilling, forced to deal with our bodies.

There’s a lot I can share with you in this area of life, from personal experience. For… Read More >
How Will You Show Your Body Some Love Today?

by Cora Poage For many years I was caught in a steamy, intimate and tumultuous relationship. I would call it codependent, maybe slightly abusive. I placed my “Ex” on a pedestal and truly saw him as an idol of sorts. If my Ex was kind to me, I had a fabulous day. If he was moody or “off,” my day was ruined. I was yearning for freedom from my partner, but I was too scared… Read More >

Interview with Alicia Silverstone, author of The Kind Diet
September 25, 2009
By Michael Parrish DuDell
When you hear the name Alicia Silverstone what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps a “Clueless” blond-headed teen sardonically spouting “as if” and “whatever?” Or maybe it’s a costume-clad superhero saving Gotham City from deadly villains. Well next month you’ll discover yet another side of the well-known actress as she adds a new credit to her jam-packed resume: that of an author. Silverstone’s first book “The Kind Diet” will be released on October… Read More >
On Losing Weight and Regaining My Inner Cowgirl
September 24, 2009

By Earthmother in the Raw In the spring of 2008, a book on the “New Arrivals” shelf of my small-town library jumped out at me: Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips by Kris Carr. I didn’t have cancer, didn’t know anyone with cancer, and yet, I was compelled to sign the book out. I think it was the cover photo of the cowgirl in the desert southwest that spoke to me. “Wow,” I thought, “That used to… Read More >
Battle of the Bulge
September 17, 2009
By Donna Perrone
This summer, I cooled off with an excursion to a local water park featuring water slides, and a cool wave pool. I grabbed my bathing suit, packed a lunch and headed to Jersey. This day trip meant planning my meals ahead of time, which consisted of two Norwalk pressed green/vegetable juices from the best juice joint in NYC called, ‘Liquidteria,’ packed in a cold storage insulated bag with a cold pack, germinated sunflower seeds, sliced… Read More >
