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!
Don’t you agree? –>

It’s amazing to me that people argue organic vs. local when it comes to their food. Is organic only for those who don’t want toxins in their bodies, and local is reserved only for environmentalists who weigh their food miles? It’s actually best that we all strive to be eating local AND organic food, by choosing what’s in season. Our grandparents ate “organically” and locally, and they cleaned without chemicals too. Wow, that makes sense! I always got along famously with my grandparents, so as they are amazed with the “progress” of our world, I am interested in some regression back to how they lived as kids. It’s great that we have a lot to share and learn from each other.

I must admit, I would have never guessed that reducing would have been a hobby of mine, but, once I started, I realized that I was good at it, and it felt good too. I hope that what I’ve done (so far, because it’s a work in progress) inspires you on your own path of living a little bit lighter.

Even if a big family getaway isn’t in the plans, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on making memories together, getting pampered or relieving stress.

So stay in your robes and slippers, dim the lights, turn on some relaxing tunes, and set the mood for a day of relaxation with your loved ones.
