Comment on Shop Springerhill by Sharon

I am so glad you enjoyed them, I posted yesterday that by adding a touch of beef broth after searing before placing in the oven worked great, they were so tender and flavorful. Springerhill Ranch is a far superior product than any beef I have found and I have been in the fitness/healthy food business since 1994 and an avid fitness enthusiast since the mid 80′s. Springerhill is 100% GRASSFED which is an important distinction when purchasing beef For any questions on the Springerhill Brand, please feel free to call me or email me, I’m happy to answer any of your questions…thank you Erika and I’m so glad you enjoyed the steaks!

[...] Anyway, after instructions from Sharon to sear the steak for 3 min on each side, and then finish it off in the oven for 10-15 minutes, Jed and I each bit into our pretty filets. Surprisingly…they were darn tasty. And my husband agreed. I mean, I was eating a steak that looked and tasted delicious, and it was a guilt-free experience. Now, my expectations were definitely low, as the thing had 2% fat, but all in all, I was impressed. I’d like to have more of those in my freezer, and I plan to stock up. It’s a dinner you can look forward to—but not feel guilty afterwards. You can order the steaks here. [...]

Sharon: So glad you’re doing a blog! Look forward to reading your posts. For those who haven’t yet met Sharon, she really knows her stuff. I met Sharon in 2009, when she had her Smart Meals location in SW Houston. SmartMeals was the only meal service that helped me lose weight.. I’ve tried other meal programs, but have not had the same success. I cannot recommend Sharon and Dr. Roxanne Edrington highly enough – they rock. And FYI: this is totally unsolicited …

P.S. I just realized Susan posted a comment a month ago! She’s a friend of mine, but I didn’t realize you two had met! Small world. Linda

Comment on Gluten Free-Just Another Fad? by Anonymous

I’m not a dietitian, but from my own personal experience for weight loss I would average around 1500 cal per week, give or take. It depends on your activity level, what you’ve been doing in the past which may have affected your metabolism, and other health issues. I would always recommend an annual check up first The key to success is frequent meals, the right combination or portion of protein, carb and fat, preferably under 30% fat, ideally under 20% fat. I tend to taper my carbs off at the end of the day, I don’t believe in cutting out carbs completely as some suggest, you just won’t have much energy and I believe in moderation.

Second, if you try and follow this important rule: eat right 95% of the time and relax the other 5%, you won’t feel deprived. An example is to follow a healthy diet 7 days a week BUT have 2-3 meals where you don’t watch, enjoy and eat what you want, you will still lose weight, I promise Give yourself permission to enjoy family dinners, parties, etc, you just can’t do it everyday. Exercise in any way whether it’s at the gym or outside doing yard work is always great and will accelerate the process. Wherever you can replace activity such as walking, taking the stairs, even doing every other step for a few flights (a great lower body quickie) I do this sometimes in office buildings any chance you have to burn a few extra calories do it, it will all add up.

Finally, my advice or workout mantra is something I say to myself and follow, “anything is better than nothing” so, if you don’t think you have enough time to run 30 min and only have time for 20, do 20 as most likely you’ll skip it all together and not do it. It will all add up to results. Your goal should be to lose 1-2 lbs per week, that is safe and what is recommended and ideal for long term personal weight loss. You want to lose body fat, not hard earned muscle or water weight which will just come back. For recommendations to consult with a Dietitian or Sports Nutritionist, feel free to email me
