Our Lady of Weight Loss

Adam Lambert closed down American Idol last night singing “Mad World.” Another amazing performance, bringing Simon to his feet! Standing Ovation! However, American Idol ran 5 minutes over on the East Coast and for those who recorded the show, for those whose heads are about to explode; for those who missed the best performance of…

I am a Pop Junkie (which is far better than a Junk Food Junkie, or a Gossip Junkie, or a Junkie Junkie). Therefore, when Lil’ Kim … who sent a shout out to her prison-mates on the first or second show of this season’s Dancing With the Stars; who is reportedly $1 million in debt;…

Just yesterday, one of my star clients (you’re all stars, truly) ‘confessed’ that she’d had some very ripe bananas in the house, and so she ‘had’ to make banana bread. Whoa! “HAD TO?” Make “Banana Bread?” And then … eat it, of course. As you can well imagine, this led to an amazingly rich (on…

We now know, thanks to a report in Cancer Prevention Research, that THREE DAY-OLD BROCCOLI SPROUTS suppress Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections, one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide that cause stomach cancer. While the protective effects of sulforaphane, a phytochemical from broccoli, have been known for almost two decades, the report shows for…

Top model, former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl, Kathy Ireland, plumped up and packed on 25 pounds “without even knowing it! ” Kathy, like HOLA! I gained 3 pounds last month and could tell immediately; as soon as my ‘love muffin’ (more than just a top) came peaking out and then tumbling over my very…

I’ve not been a fan of Star Jones, but I am now.I tuned into Oprah yesterday: “Fat to Thin (and possibly back again) In the Public Eye” (my title; not Oprah’s), which featured Valerie Bertinelli, Marie Osmond and Star Jones. Mercifully, Valerie’s and Marie’s segments were relatively short, affording them enough time to pump out…

I consider myself an optimistic person. When I was a very little girl the movie Pollyanna hit the screens and I loved it, and I took it in on a cellular level. Pollyanna starred Jane Wyman (Ronald Regan’s ex-wife), Karl Malden (one of the most dynamic actors of all time), Hayley Mills (loved her!) in…

I am uncharacteristically in a ‘bad’ mood. I woke up at 3:45 a.m. with a banger of a headache; my husband has the flu and is coughing up a storm (I sure hope I don’t catch it), and when I made my sacred morning cup of coffee and sat down at the dining room table…
