Seeking Resonable Hair Salon and Dietician??

Hi J.,
If you decrease your caloric intake by 250 calories a day, and increase your exercise by 250 calories a day, you will loose a lb. a week. If you drink any kind of alcohol, even 1 oz. will slow down your metabolism regardless of the exercise. After alcohol consumption, it takes the body 3 days to get back to a nonalcoholic metabolism. Depressing if you like the glass of wine with dinner.

I'm not a complete advocate of low carb. high protien diets, however, protien will decrease appetite and increase energy.

You know what they say, "Everything in moderation."
Sounds like you are a disciplined woman, I'm sure you'll find the way. When I feel like I need to loose a lb. or two, I ask myself, "Would I want to make love to that body?" If the answer is no, I cut out the extras for a week. Works for me!
Good luck,
Wendy

I don't know about a nutritionist, but I learned a ton about nutrition, portions, etc from Weight Watchers. They are all about portion sizes and good combinations of food.

The Aveda/Vicara salon in El Segundo (the Whole Foods center) gives 1/2 off to first time customers. Gladys cut my hair last time, and I'm happy with it.

You are right, the first request is the easy one. I would recommend Erin at Lush in Redondo Beach, near the Trader Joe's. ###-###-####.

I don't know a dietician. I would say stay away from "sugar free" products. Aspartame is poison, literally. It increases your appetite and is highly addictive. Drink lots of water, just water. Start and end your day with fruit. Eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Good luck.

Hi J. - you should check out the Beach Cities Health District in Redondo Beach for a dietitian - they have very reasonable rates compared to private practice dietitians.

For hair, I don't know how reasonable it is compared to other places, but I really like my hair dresser - her name is Nikki and she's at Aqua Salon in Manhattan Beach.

Good luck,
E.
