I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it's the thing that makes us feel good and connected.

Though I'm vegan and advocate that others eat a plant-based diet, I know that many people aren't quite ready to take that step in whole.

You know you are addicted to a food if despite knowing it is bad for you and despite wanting to change, you still keep eating it. Addiction means that a craving has more control over your behavior than you do.

The goal is progress, not perfection!

Here's the secret to weight loss: It's all about crowding out, not cutting out.

If you want to feel more comfortable and happy, work on making the people around you more comfortable and happy.

You can do something as simple as drinking two cups of water before a meal to fill your belly a bit so that you don't overeat, or change up your cheese from dairy to nondairy.
