Spring is finally here. I'm guessing that this newsletter finds you pondering the things
you need to change to get ready for summer or perhaps just re-evaluating how well
your new years resolutions went. Spring always brings a new sense of life and renewal.
Since the season is changing how about making at least one positive change in your
diet before the next newsletter? I've already been experiencing some positive changes
in my life and I look forward to sharing them with you right here in this newsletter.

Feature Article - "Lessons from the Butterflies"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the quest for better health and the improvement of
our physical bodies, we often become sidetracked by
our failures. If you've ever struggled with weight loss,
sticking to an exercise program, or with varying forms
of food addiction, then I get the feeling you know this
self-induced agony of defeat. It is so subtle that you
may take for granted what a powerful preventive force
it can be in preventing you from reaching your goals.
Food For Thought - "10 Tips for Sticking to Your Diet"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Protein shakes, tuna, broccoli and oatmeal are great for
building muscles but let's face it, there are days when
pizza & other junk seduces you away from your goals.
Whether your dieting for a show or just trying to break
bad habits, these 10 tips can help you stick to your
diet.
Ask Stella - Reader Q & A
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you have a question or need a recommendation
about something in the cookbook, modifying a recipe or
something else related to healthier food preparation?
Here's your place to ask it!
"Where would I find the flours that you have
listed if my local grocery store does not carry them?
For example - brown rice flour and soy flour. Also
unprocessed bran flakes and wheat bran flakes?"
Recipe of the Month: No Bake Protein Nutrition Bars
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you don't like the additives in store-bought nutrition
bars or hate paying $3 for a meal replacement bar or
protein bar snack, you'll appreciate this recipe. These
are quick to make and best of all, they contain healthy
dietary fat, are no-sugar added and do not contain
glycerine or other unnatural ingredients.
