  • Art of the Diet !Voices from My Bunker

    Podsnacks/Art of the Diet is evolving and being renamed "Voices from My Bunker". This episode explains why and invites you to continue listening as well as be a participant. The art logo came from a family arty day years ago. Handprints dipped in paint and each left their individual mark on the canvas. At play in dangerous times in 2020, folks tell stories. I try to listen. We go on.

  • Is Truth on Your Grocery List or Sweatpants? PODSNACKS/Art of the Diet

    What is on my grocery list every week in a pandemic? Truth. Food is the only thing I have control over these days and it is oddly comforting. I dress for the Apocalypse when going to the grocery store and ask myself what do I need not what do I want. My goal for this period of time: to want what I need and to tell my food truth to myself every week. www.artofthediet.com

  • Art of the Diet with Claude Monet
    Claude Monet inspired this month’s podcast about the Art of the Diet. He inspired it not for his fitness regime or low-fat recipes because both those concerns did not appear to be on his mind at all. But, what does impress is the care and attention he gave to food and its preparation as well as presentation. These aspects can energize a weight maintenance program. www.artofthediet.com

  • What's Next on the Fun Agenda?

    What's Next on The Fun Agenda? 2020 begins with a cartoon question that I saw recently on an artist's Instagram account. His name was "clownchic". His character answered it by simply stating "Abstinence". I laughed out loud as this character looked like he had abused every illegal substance available. After the holidays, don't we all feel this way? Of course, but I cannot deal with another self help strategy, my own included. So, in 2020, I am focusing in literally on "Art of the Diet". Artists who have tackled food, glorious food, food issues not so glorious, addiction issues, LIFE issues in their art and they have resonated with my own issues in some way. This month I discuss several artists. Philip Guston, Samara Golden, Dana Schutz, Wayne Theibauld, David Shrigley, Francisco de Goya. The podcast art for this month is a wall hanging/teatowel that I designed as a calendar for 2020 and that is for sale. 2020 is the Year of Anxiety for me as I turn 75 and it's a presidential election year in the US. How much anxiety can an ol'girl take and maintain a 60 lb weight loss? We'll find out. www.artofthediet.com

  • The Keep it Simple Diet
    Most people who have maintained a significant weight loss for many years are often asked: "What diet do you recommend?". My most recent answer is the subject of this month's podcast: I recommend "The Keep It Simple" Diet and it involves three tweaks of behavior not entire renovations.

  • Secret to Weight Control: Hide the Marshmallows.
    Lately, my will power has been tapped out by too many challenges. So, this month I focus on an article by Dr. Jerome Groopman in The New Yorker, who takes a look at what science can tell us about will power. In essence? If we rearrange our choices and bypass will power we are more successful. In other words, if you hide the marshmallows you are less likely to eat them. Game On. www.artofthediet.com
