I promised to start blogging the morning after each episode of Biggest Loser: Families but I've actually been in LA most of this week working on NEXT season of The Biggest Loser (more about that later...)

Sorry for the delay but I hope you enjoyed the Premiere as much as I did. We have an incredible group of contestants (again!) and I am sure you will really enjoy the upcoming weeks of the show. My plan is to blog about some food scoops that happen behind the scenes. I receive so many emails that I want to answer some of your most pressing food and nutrition questions in my blog.

One of the things I most enjoyed about this week's episode was the segment with Dr. Huizenga, the show's medical doctor.

Yesterday I returned from a book tour in Texas (Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Fort Worth) to teach Positively Ageless classes at  local Central Market stores and share The Biggest Loser weight loss secrets. I was scheduled to teach a class in Austin last night too but unfortunately, the class was cancelled due to Hurricane Ike. 

My first class was at the Houston Central Market , with the assistance of Chef Steven and his entourage of talented chefs and helpers. (All of the Central Market chefs were talented and made my job so easy -- thanks again everyone!!)

We prepared a full day's menu to demonstrate how easy (and delicious!) it is to eat the Positively Ageless way, which focuses on getting the most nutrient bang for every calorie buck. These are the same ingredients the contestants eat on the Ranch.
