This is a great article that explains why the chemistry of your food trumps the obsolete notion of calories in vs. calories out, or CICO. The truth is, your body doesn't know what a calorie is...

Although we are quite familiar with what obesity looks like on the outside, take a look at what obesity looks like on the inside. This is an MRI of a person of a normal weight and a person that is obese. Notice the fat lining the vital organs, the pressure placed on the joints, and the decreased density of the bones in the leg. This paints quite the picture, doesn't it? One begins to understand how healthy weight loss benefits all systems of the...

Hi Everyone!
I love sharing my experiences with people who ask me how I stay healthy! I was recently approached by a long time fan, Tamara, on Twitter asking me about my opinions on weight loss and nutrition. Something about her made...
In March of 2009, just a little over a year ago, I started my first "professional/business attire" job in thirteen years. To clarify, I have worked in movie production all of those years and while my jobs have always been professional, well, let's just say, when you spend most days on set in shorts, every day is casual Friday.

I drove myself to Kmart for a new...
One of the feelings I'm enjoying these days is the empowerment to know that I am doing this. When I began the program, I remember feeling like I was giving over my power to take control of my health and eating to Dr. Rutledge.

I never thought I would hear my self say these words, but I am actually enjoying the process of losing weight. We all love the concept of losing weight and we all love the part where our clothes fit and we like what we see in the mirror. But how often do you find yourself saying, "this is fun restricting my calories and depriving myself of that bag of chips"? I realize depriving may be a strong word, but that's what it feels like when in these situations...
Today is my official Day 20. If you thought I was being creative on the first week with my limited vegetable options, imagine how I am feeling today!
To avoid another afternoon of spinach or cucumbers, I decided to give kale a try. There was a great kale salad I made right before I started the program (what, you thought I didn't eat healthy before I started? No, I ate healthy. I also ate fried foods and sauces and cheeses. I ate EVERYTHING!). The...
