Intermittent Fasting – Week 5

February 4, 2019 / cdpuidk / Leave a comment

IF Chat: Continuing the Gut Health Conversation Last week, I shared a (basically) meta-analysis of the effects of IF on the microbiome. Sort of paradoxically, it seems that depriving the GI tract of ingested nutrients for prolonged periods of time actually results in a fuller, more flourishing bacterial environment and more intact gut lining. This … Continue reading Intermittent Fasting – Week 5

The Michelin Guide: A Brief History

February 1, 2019 / cdpuidk / Leave a comment

Courtesy of the Business Insider As a “foodie" with a history of almost 17 years experience working in restaurants, a long time reader of Bon Appetit and Food and Wine magazines, and a well seasoned at-home chef, I have wanted to write about this for a long time. I figured that since Michelin is a huge company … Continue reading The Michelin Guide: A Brief History

IF Chat - How does IF affect gut health? Image from the Health Sciences Academy. "IF: Good or Bad for Your Gut Bacteria?" http://www.thehealthsciencesacademy.org When we restrict feeding, that obviously means eliciting control over when nutrients are hitting our GI tracts. The more restrictive we get, the longer the gut and the bacteria that live … Continue reading Intermittent Fasting, Week 4

IF Chat: New Study Out: Impact of IF on Insulin Sensitivity and Metabolic Markers in Overweight Women An interesting article popped up in my inbox late last week.

Intermittent Fasting -Week 2

January 15, 2019 / cdpuidk / Leave a comment

Intermittent Fasting Chat: In June 2018 I joined thousands of fitness and nutrition professionals for the IDEA conference in San Diego, CA. Here, I had the opportunity to hear Dr Pam Peeke (MD, MPH) speak on her research about "Time Restricted Feeding" and the "body clock". Her article "Is It Time To Eat Yet", published … Continue reading Intermittent Fasting -Week 2

Intermittent Fasting – Week 1

January 7, 2019January 7, 2019 / cdpuidk / Leave a comment

Time Restricted Feeding = Intermittent Fasting I began Intermittent Fasting (IF) on January 1st, and so far so far good! I am beginning with what I consider the most relaxed version of IF, which involves a 1:1 ratio of 12 hour eating window to 12 hour fasting window. Initially I chose my eating window as … Continue reading Intermittent Fasting – Week 1

Renewing for the New Year

December 31, 2018 / cdpuidk / Leave a comment

Well I took the plunge and renewed my wordpress account after realizing I hadn't posted anything since last August... which brings me to: If you’ve spoken to me more than once in the last 18 months, you likely know that I’ve had a lot of thoughts rolling around in my head about if/when/where to open … Continue reading Renewing for the New Year

Whether traveling 10% of the time or upwards of 50% of the time, there are a few tenets to take into account when eating healthfully on the road (or in the sky). You have to, HAVE … Continue reading Tips for Traveling

Quick and Healthy Breakfasts, Pt 1

July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 / cdpuidk / Leave a comment

As the old adage tells us, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast does just what the noun entails, it breaks the "fast" we experience during a good night's sleep. Beyond waking up the digestive tract, breakfast prepares the body for the day ahead and a good breakfast should curb the amount … Continue reading Quick and Healthy Breakfasts, Pt 1

Weighing in on Coconut Oil

June 23, 2017 / cdpuidk / 1 Comment

The heat is on in the debate over coconut oil. A fast-hitting food trend due to the presence of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may aide in weight loss and have other beneficial properties related to cognitive function (not to mention coconut oil smells and tastes pretty good). The coconut oil craze has gone viral … Continue reading Weighing in on Coconut Oil
