As a nation, we have taken proactive steps to teach about the dangers of drugs, tobacco and alcohol. We need to be taking the same approach to diet and nutrition. But if the “experts” can’t agree on what’s healthy, how do you know what to do or where to start?

Lori, as Your Kitchen Coach, can help you with basic information to help you and your family make better nutritional choices. She will help you read and decipher food labels and educate you on the ways food manufacturers hide chemicals like MSG and Trans Fats. Did you know that a label that says ”Zero Trans Fats” may not mean trans fat free? *According to a National Academy of Sciences Report, there is no safe level of trans fats.

Learn how to calculate the number of teaspoons of sugar in food items. Some may surprise you! Like some single-serve yogurt cups contain as much sugar as a can of soda!

Lori also offers shopping tips and trips to your favorite grocer. We’ve heard to “shop the perimeter” but why? Have you ever compared a store-brand peanut butter to a well advertised commercial brand? Lori will help you compare and contrast your favorite brands to some healthier alternatives and explain the difference.

Now is the time for you and your family to develop healthy eating habits.
