No matter how great our intentions are, the truth is, sometimes when we set out to start a fast…..we fail. Hard.

I remember a few years back, starting a fast and I was so excited, I just dove right in. But on day 3, I don’t know what came over me, but by 4pm, I’d had 2 cupcakes, a snickers bar and a cheeseburger. Ever had that happen to you? It’s okay. We’ve all done it. Don’t sweat it.

Give it a try! Continue reading →

Instead of having to think about when to schedule a reboot, I’ve learned that an easy way to make it part of my lifestyle is to just reboot at the start of each season. Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter. Boom. Done. Plus, I get to enjoy the variety of flavors and produce each season brings. Here’s a great recipe I enjoy starting in the Spring and throughout the Summer.  Continue reading →
