Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Roasted veggies … yum.

What is it about roasted veggies that make them so delectable?  Everyone probably already has their favorite way to roast veggies, so why bring another recipe into the mix?

Well, we have a niche here with the hCG Protocol.  Most people consider the diet to be boring, and I am here to tell you that this just isn’t true.  There is so much you can do to kick food up several notches so that P2 can be exciting and delicious.  Far from boring.

Roasting your veggies is a great way to bring out the sweet that is trapped inside […]

Baked Apple Crisp

Baked Apple Crisp

I have self control around desserts.  It’s a blessing, I know.  It helps that I don’t bake much, baking has never been my thing.  However there are some things that are sweet that I do tend to devour, and anything with baked apples is one of those things.  ::giggle::

When you are on P2, sometimes you need something that feels decadent … this is one of those things.  Let’s add that it’s gluten-free as well, so there is another plus.  And this isn’t one of those really good for gluten free things, it’s really good!

During the cold winter months, who doesn’t […]

The Beginner’s Mind

Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God’s kingdom. ~ Matthew 18:3 (MSG)

Bear with me … you will understand the reference as you read.

I find it fascinating so much of what I read, whether it is about nutrition, business, or self-improvement, all centers around some pretty basic concepts. In other words, there is nothing new under the sun.

Awhile back I read a book entitled It’s Not About the Money by Brent Kessel. In this book, the author proclaims for there to be lasting change in one’s financial situation, there has to be a […]

Asian Apple Chicken Salad

Ok, before you say anything, when you look at the picture, please forgive the fact that I forgot to add the apples before I took the picture.  Let’s just say when I realized it, it was too late, so I just ate the apple on the side.

::giggle::

But on the serious side, this salad is super easy, and it’s good warm or cold.  And it’s one of those things you can make ahead of time.  What I do is make a bunch of my Asian dressing, and marinate chicken and beef in 3.5-4 ounce serving sizes with 1 tbsp of my […]

Salmon in a Blanket

Salmon in a Blanket

Eating on Phase 2 of the hCG Protocol doesn’t have to be boring.

If you are already familiar with The First Step, you will know that with the added nuances, you can get pretty creative.

For example, the adding of salmon as a protein choice opens up windows of opportunity to have a meal that doesn’t feel like you are following P2!  Just look at how appetizing this meal looks, and to think you are still well under 300 calories for a complete meal!

The possibilities are endless with this recipe.  The choices of veggies are entirely up […]

Adjusting the Rudder

Adjusting the Rudder

A soul without a high aim is like a ship without a rudder. ~ Eileen Caddy

I tell my clients, quite often in fact, you are the captain, and I am simply the rudder.

What does that mean?

Let’s explore the meaning by first talking about success and failure.

During the course of our lives, we may consider ourselves one or the other.  To be honest, we may not come right out saying I am successful, or I am a failure.  However, we may consider certain parts of our lives have resulted in us feeling great joy, or maybe guilt and shame.

The difference between […]

Live Interview With Christa

Live Interview With Christa

On September 2, 2014 I conducted an interview with Bod Squad client Christa.

Anytime I do an interview with a client, I like to encapsulate the process of coaching into one word or one phrase, sort of a touch stone of my experience with them in our coach/client relationship.

With Christa, I had several, but landed on self-care.  She has been a great example of how self-care has really propelled her to get closer and closer to her goals.

On this interview, I talk a little bit about self-care, and then I allow Christa to take the helm, and […]

Mix It Up Experiment

Over the last few weeks, I have been teasing my readers of The Biz Buzz of a Guinea Pig Program that I was going to start asking for people to participate in.  It’s time for me to let you know a little bit more about this experiment.

First of all, I am renaming it to The Mix It Up Experiment, and after you read this, you will understand why.

I have been receiving more than a few emails wanting to find out more; even some saying sign me up when they don’t know the first thing about it yet!  ::giggle::

I have to […]
