Raise 2 hands if you’re part of the 2 clean plates club!
I GET it. Our lifestyles are set up perfectly to turn us into total food-aholics.
Our fast-paced, over-scheduled lives have us shoveling food so fast we barely even taste it.
We’re encouraged by movies to binge food for comfort (who else has been the cliche eating a tub of ice cream after a breakup?).

Summary
What do you do when you get a craving? Do you try to control it? Shut it down with willpower? Avoid then binge? Convince yourself you don't need it (while secretly obsessing about it)?

Summary
We all have what I call ‘sprint seasons’ in our life where it doesn’t matter how good we are with time management, our days are just utterly packed.
And during those times it can feel like the ONLY option is to completely let go of the reigns on our healthy habits. That’s usually when we start to skip meals, hit the drive through, or shovel a handful of goldfish crackers down our throats and call it ‘lunch’.
But losing weight and keeping it off can’t be about only...

Absolutely not. And to prove it to you, I brought on a special guest this week, my friend Doug Fore. He is not a nutrition expert, he is not a personal trainer, he is not a coach of any kind, a book author or a public speaker. In fact, in his...
