It seems like everyone I know is on some kind of diet this winter to lose weight. I have friends on Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Nutri System, Dr. Oz Diet and The Zone Diet. I’m getting pitched on paleo, alkaline, magnesium, PH balancing, you name it! I have to wonder: What’s Fact and What’s Quack?
During my studies at Institute for Integrative Nutrition I learned 100 dietary theories. The simplest approach is the one I adhere to: eat food in moderation and in smaller portions; mainly plants and lean proteins; exercise more and hydrate more.

One area that fascinates me is ayurveda, (the science of life) which focuses on the mind body connection to stay healthy. Developed centuries ago in India, ayurveda is a guiding principal that can profoundly affect how you live, eat, manage stress, heal ailments and create balance.

I’ll discuss ayurveda with Chef Heather Carlucci, who teaches culinary technique for the Ayurvedic nutrition course at Bhagavat Life Holistic Education. I’ve known Heather for years since her days running Lassi, a tiny take out offering healthy Indian food and later at Print restaurant. In addition to her work teaching and cooking, Heather is an activist for farmer’s rights and environmental causes and is a co-founder of Chefs for Marcellus, an organization of food industry professionals working to fight fracking in New York State.
