Lindi Cohen is a dietician and nutritionist that is all about getting back to basics and not being on a diet.  Sounds weird right.  A dietician telling you not to be on a diet!  That’s why I love her.  This is a quote from her web site which really resonates with me.

Swap cauliflower for carbs and you will lose ~88% of the joy you get from food.

Twenty minutes of exercise is better than an hour at the gym that you never do.

Don't give up 95% of your life to weigh 5% less.

If hating your body helped you lose weight, you'd have your dream body by now.

I am such a fan of survivor and of Pia Miranda, so can you imagine how excited I was when they both combined.   I didn’t know a lot about Pia personally before Survivor because she is a pretty private person, but one thing I did lean about her in survivor is what a sassy lady she is, that she is Sicilian, she loves pasta and is a Yogi. For more from Spicy Steph go here.
