Julianne's Paleo & Zone Nutrition

Thank you so much everyone for your comments and suggestions. I was curious to see how others would respond to this problem. This post is a followup to my a senario that I was presented with – a  new client who has been following a low carb diet and is doing 5 – 6 sessions [...]

Case Study and a challenge for you I’m going to outline a case study, and I’d love to get your feedback as to what you think is the problem and how we solve this weight (or rather FAT) loss problem. This is a case study on a type, rather than one person. I have had [...]

I saw this quote in a Psychology today article recently “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” (The right tool for the job). It’s not new of course, it’s one we’ve heard often.
