I have a gigantic stack of books on my bedroom floor. More than half of them are recipe or health-related. Yesterday I sat down and grabbed all of the recipe books, most of which are sugar-free specific. I happened upon some incredible recipes, one of which I tried out last night. It sounded so good and so strange. I had never thought about peanut butter pudding before. I am not a huge pudding fan-I like chewy or crunchy foods-but my interest was piqued. After letting the finished product chill, I tried it. Delicious! It was incredibly smooth and rich, and sweet, too! Keeping in mind that my palate has evolved over the past year and a half, it may not be to par with everyone’s fancy, but it sure satiated my sweet tooth.

Speaking of my old arch enemy, my sweet tooth, it has been dormant for the past several weeks. If I eat something sweet it’s because I’m enjoying the moment. I haven’t had a killer sugar craving in quite some time. I spent 8 days in Washington, D.C. and never had a craving. I admit that sometimes after a large dinner meal I will think about ice cream or fresh cookies. But my tendency to do this is waning. Big time.

As strange as it sounds, this pudding recipe is actually really good. The thickness and creaminess of it is my favorite part:

Peanut Butter Pudding
1 small ripe banana
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt (I use Nancy’s, which is sugar-free, vanilla and delicious)
1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Process first on low speed, then on high until smooth. Pour into four individual serving dishes and refrigerate. Serve cold. Serves 4.

Suggestions or alterations to this recipe? I can imagine it in between layers of dark chocolate….

Enjoy!

I receive so many comments on this topic that I thought I better dedicate a video to it. The question usually goes as follows, “I lost a lot of weight in week 1 or in the first 14 days, but I haven’t lost in a week. What am I doing wrong?” I invariably point them to google the terms “Post Induction Stall Syndrome.” This is the knack of the human body to readjust its water retention after a period of weight loss. The fat loss is STILL happening, but the readjustment of hydration levels after …

How do you cure loneliness and build self esteem?

The only time in my life that I felt really lonely was when I first moved to London at the age of 20. I lived alone in a small bedsit and although I met people at work, I spent most nights on my own and did not have friends because I was very shy and found it difficult to communicate with strangers.  I felt disconnected.

Loneliness is all about disconnection.

• Disconnection from the community
• Disconnection from yourself
• Disconnection from your core identity

Loneliness arises from a poor self-perception and a lack of self-valuation. If you don’t like yourself then you are less likely to try to join a group of people because of a fear of rejection.

Is there a cure for loneliness? For me there was no one cure. As the years went by I gradually became more self-confident and started building my self-esteem and confidence. I now feel very connected to my self and others around me.

I cannot remember the last time that I felt lonely - even when living on my own.

If you are suffering from loneliness or lack of self esteem then listen to the hypnosis CD, Harmony. This deals with how you relate to yourself and the world around you. Using the techniques revealed in this audio program will help you lead a connected, harmonious and integrated life.
