What’s The Real Scoop On PLANT-BASED Diets? January 14, 2020 
Hello 2020! We are now merrily into the second week and people's resolutions are already falling by the waist side. Sigh! Could it be that most don't set realistic goals? Probably. Could it be that many follow the latest fad and realize quickly that they can't sustain it for a lifetime? Again, probably! And I am not only talking about diets my friends. There are also those people who set new workout goals way too ambitiously for someone who's been sitting on their couch all year long.

And just like that another year has flown by. And what's even crazier ----- another decade! I'd like to take this time to thank you all for subscribing to The Keri Report - but most of all, taking the time to read it! It's been a wild year in the health and nutrition world and it isn't easy keeping up with it all. But I try my best knowing that I will share what I learn with you.

As this decade comes closer to an end I think it is a great time to set intentions for the next one. Now trust me, I am not a fan of resolutions so that is not what I am suggesting. But rather take a walk down memory lane (try and make it quick, no point in belaboring!) and think about the last ten years. Now think about what you hope for yourself in the years ahead. And after that is said and done, take a long deep breathe and simply try to be present.
Read MoreThe Real Deal on Intermittent Fasting December 3, 2019 
One holiday down, two more to go (unless you celebrate Hanukkah that is!). I feel it is my civic duty to remind you that you do not have to gain any weight during this time of year! OR if you do - like a pound or two - NO big deal! I also think it bears repeating that if you plan on making healthy changes starting the New Year - you might consider starting TODAY! I'm sure you are familiar with the sayings, "there is no time like the present" OR "why put off till tomorrow what you can do today", yada yada.

Did you ever want to love a food or drink but do not? That's how I feel about tea. I SO want to be a tea lover, since I love hot beverages, but for some reason have never developed a taste for it. I especially have been wishing it was so since I've been suffering from a cold longer than I thought possible. For some reason; I envision myself with a cup of tea with honey in my hand and then miraculously my cold gets better. You know, now that I wrote this - I am going to give this tea thing another try! Or perhaps I am just giving it more credit than it deserves?

It is officially November and I now have already complained about the cold weather! Last year I promised myself (and my doormen) that I would accept the cold temps like a champ and stop complaining about something I couldn't change! Well, we see how well that plan stuck with me! But alas, I am not ready to give up on myself and will try again this year to focus only on the positive! As they say" "Failure is part of success!" #fingerscrossed
Read MoreIs Cheese Safe To Eat? October 22, 2019 
Funny how it is only October and yet this past week I have given a lot of interviews on the topic "New Year, New You!" These stories are all scheduled for January issues (yes, there is a long lead-time). What gets me is these stories are the same every year - basically teaching individuals on how to eat better, move and sleep more, and stress less. You would think by now as a society we would know how to do this, right? But NO, we wait till the end of they year only to say next year we will do better!
Read MoreAgave Isn’t As Healthy As You Think! October 8, 2019 
This past Friday I took the day off from work to take my grandchildren to a farm for a hay ride and pumpkin picking! It was actually my 19-month old grandson's class trip. What these types of days help me to remember is that it OK to take time off. Being self-employed and working from home makes it quite hard for me to disconnect from work. It's like it's always right in front of my face and hard to look away. But I need to, we all need to, remind ourselves that 30 years from now we are not going to remember that blog post we did or email we sent, but we WILL remember the look of happiness on our grandchildren's (kids, spouses, friends, etc.) faces!

Goodbye summer! Hello fall! It is now official. Wish I could say I was excited for all the pumpkin and sweet potato stuff that is on the horizon. BUT no, not my thing, at all. On the other hand, it can be fun to get excited about some seasonal food thing - SO when the temperature drops, hot chocolate anyone? Hot apple cider (with a little bourbon)? More brussels sprouts (I mean who stopped eating them anyway)? Whatever your jam is - HAPPY fall everyone!
Read MoreI Say Potato, You Say Potahto! September 10, 2019 
Labor Day has come and gone; and just like that another summer is over. I do think we feel it more on the east coast because it reminds us that the cold weather will be here before we know it and that can be rather depressing (At least for me!). So because of this, I've been trying really hard lately to stay present and not go down that foreboding path. I think in general the more we can live in the present, the more we can enjoy what is truly right in front of us. Sure snow will be falling in a couple of months - but guess what?
