5 Ways to Create Happier, More Meaningful Days
We do our best work, when we love what we do. As the owner of a online marketing and publicity firm that helps authors promote their books and brands, I've had a lifelong love affair with books. Helping authors share their message is my passion. Reading just one book (okay, even just one powerful sentence) can change your life. Recently I read Are You Fully Charged? The 3 Keys to Energizing Your Work and Life by Tom Rath* and watched the new documentary Fully Charged, and I immediately made some tweaks in how I go about my day. I read Tom's book StrengthsFinder 2.0 many years ago and it helped me uncover my individual str...

Why Are You Skipping Breakfast?
Why are you skipping breakfast? This is a question I ask many clients that come to my office for nutrition counseling. The answer I most often hear is, "I don't have enough time in the morning." Unfortunately, this is a common excuse for just about anything that has to do with eating and living healthy. Starting your day with a well-balanced meal will help jumpstart your metabolism and keep energy and concentration levels running more efficiently. If your goal is to maintain or lose weight, eating breakfast will ensure blood sugar levels remain stable. This lessens your chances of unhealthy impulse eating throughout the r...

Failure Lab: Weight Loss Surgery Was Never the Plan
When I started my journey to health I only knew one thing for sure. That I would lose weight and get healthy by any means necessary -- except surgery. I would not submit to an invasive procedure to do something many people are able to do: control themselves. That would be a complete and utter failure. That would be rock bottom. I've never voluntarily admitted failure. This post is the result of an intervention. One night last spring my therapist excitingly started a session asking me to share my story at an event she was sponsoring. I'll admit my ego stroked. But then she continued, "It's called Failure Lab. A few storyte...

Are You Eating Too Much Fruit?
Photo: Pond5 By Zahra Barnes for Life by DailyBurn Loading your diet with fruit seems like a no-brainer, right? Your body gets a boost from nutritious superstars like fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, plus juicy berries might even satisfy your sweet tooth. But that doesn't mean maintaining a 24/7 fruit free-for-all is good for your health. "Fruit is high in a sugar known as fructose. Even though the sugar is coming from this healthy source, you still have to use moderation," says Brigitte Zeitlin, MPH, RD, CDN, a dietitian at B-Nutritious. If you're panicking because you've been devouring fruit salad to your heart's co...

Bethenny Frankel Says Men Don't Know That We're Crazy And Avocados Make Us Glow
You can start watching The Real Housewives of New York again (which premieres tonight on Bravo), because Bethenny is back. Seriously, if anyone can bring true realism to a ‘reality tv show’ (not that we’ve ever watched Real Housewives, The Bachelor, or reality shows in general of course…) it’s Bethenny Frankel.
She’s also keeping it real with her new book out today -- I Suck At Relationships So You Don’t Have To -- whose title speaks for itself. Like the episode The Opposite on Seinfeld, Bethenny – like George Costanza – aims to have you do the exact opposite of everything she’s ever done in dating. Fr...
