Hi ,
Thank you for all the warm and lovely birthday wishes this week!
Greg beat everyone to the punch by scuttling me out of Dodge right after Body Transformation Booty Camp wrapped to take me to one of our favorite locations on the planet, Yosemite.
Yes, unmistakeable and I know you recognized it right away! We climbed to the top of Yosemite Falls and all of the waterways were surging with the spring thaws. It was crazy!
Speaking of crazy, Is sugar your downfall? Or worse, does it just drag you away with it?
 This just in from Karen, who has graciously agreed to let me publish her message to me along with my reply.
You see, Karen wrote to me with a not uncommon problem. But that doesn't mean that when we are in the grips of sugar addiction we don't feel entirely alone.
Read Karen's letter and my reply to her in today's Feature Article .
Then come by the blog and leave your thoughts!
Thank you, as always, for tuning in.
Catch ya on the blog -
P.S. Welcome to all the new readers of FitDream Ezine this week. It's an honor to be a part of your health and fitness journey!
P.P.S. I promised to answer all your questions about the Plant-Based Nutrition Certification Coursework I just finished at Cornell University. I'll have it for you in next week's FitDream Ezine, along with the list of course lectures and modules - stay tuned!
"I want to share my personal triumph! 50 lbs lost"
 P-A-R-T-Y in the Booty Camp Locker Room!
I want to share my personal triumph.
I have now seen my first weight of 199.
That is 50 pounds lost since I have started with Lani!
This is the first time since before I was married 20 years ago, and is a huge accomplishment for me.
At the start of the last Booty Camp, I weighed the same as Lani's new fridge as filled! Now I am just under her fridge empty?!!
Big thanks to everyone, especially Lani, for all your love and support that has helped me get this far!

This just in from Karen, who has graciously agreed to let me publish her message to me along with my reply.
I always admire women who just put it out there and this shot you straight to the top of my most admired list, Karen!
Hi, Lani--
I've been following you for awhile now, and can tell you have integrity. I also resonate with the way you market your message--compelling, assertive, but definitely not smarmy!
Thanks for getting back to me.
I want to lose weight and be healthy. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at 49  and died of it at 62. I am 47 and want to be healthy. My friend just keeps telling me that soy causes cancer and that we need GRASSFED beef and pure milk.
I am a self-professed health "geek." I was making almond milk in the early '90s, when I read Diet For A New America and tried Dr. McDougall's stuff. I have read the China Study. I love Dr. Fuhrman's stuff and have read it. I even have read a ton on raw.
Here's the rub---I am totally addicted to sugar--to sweets. I just don't know what to believe anymore. I want the TRUTH so I can be fit and healthy on the INSIDE.
Also, a good friend of mine is going through a nutrition program She really seems to advocate more of the Weston-Price Foundation stuff. I thought that organization was nutritionally discredited???
Sigh....Anyway....keep up the great work! I must overcome sugar addiction, and I'd like to believe that Weston Price's way of doing it is NOT the way...
It's kind of ironic that there are so many vegan dessert books out there that TOTALLY feed my cravings! I even made my daughter a vegan chocolate cake for her birthday--it was delicious, by the way!
Thanks for the ear.
Love your FB profile pic, by the way...

Owner, The Guilt-Free Mom
Hey Karen,
Thanks for your note and sorry so much about your Mom, this must have been and no doubt continues to be very difficult.
On to your questions about the sugar. First, Weston-Price is not a good source of health information. Adding more protein does not one free of 'sugar addiction' make.
Research suggests that it can actually create additional health problems when we jump to getting from 10% of our dietary calories from protein to getting 20% of our dietary calories from animal protein.
A whole foods, plant -based diet easily provides us with 10% protein, which is actually more than our requirement of even less than that.*
To help you out, I'm going to come in at this through a different avenue than the 'add more protein' myopia that is promoted by the protein mongers. These surefire strategies you can easily implement pronto. I hope you like my ideas.
Stamping Out Sugar Addiction in 6 simple steps
1) Fiber rocks. Fiber is your fitness, fire-the sugar cravings, and fat loss friend and I'm about to tell you why.
Satiety is a function of the fullness that comes from bulk and nutrition in your belly.
So, what comprises bulk? It is fiber holding water which creates that bulk. Both are important - nutrition and bulk. You can drink a gallon of water and have weight of the water, but no bulk, so your hunger is not really satisfied even though you have, technically, a full belly.
And you aren't completely satisfied either with a stomach full of what we might call 'rabbit' food without some of the more calorie dense starchy vegetables and whole grains. It is the combination of these two that give you happy satiety and a solid grip at getting and staying trim.
By eating fiber-rich foods, you powerfully impact your appetite and fullness. Which is directly related to craving protection and knocking out addiction to sweets.
If satiety is not met, your hunger drive will kick in in ways that can show up as cravings and absolutely blindside you. You know what I mean. Aim for 40 grams of fiber a day. More is fine too>>Read more>>>
