So here’s the deal. At Foodtrainers we love our “ secretweapons ”. These are those little extras that can give you the wellness or weight loss edge provided YOU HAVE YOUR BASIC BEHAVIORS IN ORDER. Our vetting process goes something like this: We hear about a product/spice/tea etc, We look at the research that exists and any safety concerns We p ersonally “test drive” Then, if we feel something is helpful (for bloat or appetite or fatigue) and there’s some decent research (and no safety concerns) we’re sold. What I’m trying to say is that there are studies on turmeric and matcha and the two secret weapons I’m discussing this week (another tomorrow) but I’m not going to swear on my Boston Terrier that these are double-blind, placebo controlled 5-star, top-shelf, will impress a researcher studies you got it?

What are your go to "go" foods? Any topics you want us to cover?

Yesterday I was pretty free and spent some time reading resolution advice.  Time magazine suggested resolutions work better when you “fork over cash”.   The Daily Good referenced Seinfeld’s comedy writing and suggested picking something you can do every day and to focus on the doing versus the results (liked that).
