Greetings!
Hope you're all diving into and enjoying summer!
In this week's
ZIED GUIDE™ newsletter, you'll find recipes to help you work in some
delicious and flavorful seasonal fruits and veggies to help you meet
your daily quota (most of us fall short of what's recommended--about 3.5
to 4.5 cups per day according to the current Dietary Guidelines for
Americans).
You'll also find some of my recent articles and blog posts--
if you're a new mom, you'll learn about common Mommy eating traps; you'll also learn what the
Ultimate DIET is all about.
In the ZIED GUIDE™ blog, you'll
learn about why I decided, after careful consideration, NOT to submit a 3
minute tape to have my very own TV show on Oprah's new OWN network.

Common
Mommy Eating Traps
Parents Magazine
"Problem: You skip meals --
you're so busy that sometimes you forget to eat! Solution: Plan to sit down for a meal or snack (even
if
it's a quickie!) at least every 3 or 4 hours"
Read the rest of this solution and the other 5 Common Mommy Eating Traps.
Oh How
Sweet...Strawberries!
Squeeze It In
"Some studies show
that consuming strawberries may even lower levels of
homocysteine, an amino acid-high levels of it is linked with an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke."
The Ultimate DIET
Squeeze It In
"Imagine
a diet that includes ALL your favorite foods, and doesn't
require you to buy special foods or clear out (if not fumigate) all your
cabinets or the shelves in your refrigerator. Take it a step
further-imagine a diet that's not something you
repeatedly go on and off of, but one that you can live with day in and
day out- one that actually becomes a way of life instead of a transient
state of eating."
From Me to Oprah: Why Now is Not the Time for Me to Have My OWN Show
The ZIED GUIDE ™
"Anyone who knows me knows that having my own TV show has been on my
bucket list for years and years...so many
people who know me have encouraged me to go for it and submit the
tape-having my own show is and has been my ultimate professional
dream...but I simply can't..not right now."
Find out why it's not time for me to have my OWN Show.
