Greening up isn’t a trend, like platform shoes and banged haircuts. You’re living green. You reuse, you recycle, you even reduce. You care. You exercise because it makes you feel good, or maybe it’s because it’s all part of your plan to stay healthy and feel good. You should pat yourself on the back. But, if you look closely, you’ll actually realize that there are many aspects of your routine that are insanely ironic and highly hypocritical (mine too, by the way).

A restaurant is either committed to real food, or they aren’t. I am so tired of reading, “We use organic, sustainable and local ingredients where possible”…. Do you realize how subjective that is?!

It’s no secret that Meghan Telpner is a client of mine, but what you might not have the pleasure of knowing, is how incredible she is to work with on an ongoing basis. For those of you who don’t know Meghan personally, she is EXACTLY as she seems to be. And, that is precisely what makes my job of helping her market herself and develop her business, super easy – and colourfully fun. It doesn’t hurt that I live and eat in a very similar way to Meghan, minus the flowers and yellow tights, plus 3 kids.
Meghan has coined the term UnDiet – you’ve seen her book, right? And yes, I believe that it is good business to coin a term – it’s not easy, but it is worth it. Want to know how Meghan is able to “own” her term, UnDiet, and make it stick?
Here are 10 (of the many) reasons –>

When you think about it, every food product is free of something these days (or even many things!), whether it’s gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, sugar-free – you get the point? But it’s crucial to remember that a healthy product isn’t just determined by what is not in it- it’s so much more important to check out what IS in it!
