Feed Me or Deplete Me?
Hello, dear friends!
Another gift of a day!
Just for grins, with every bite ask yourself, “Does this food feed me or deplete me?”
Does this apple feed me or deplete me?
Does this chocolate feed me or deplete me?
Does this green-leafy salad feed me or deplete me?
Does this coffee feed me or deplete me?
Does this homemade veggie juice feed me or deplete me?
Then make the choice whether to eat it or not. This simple question helps us to become more and more mindful about what we put into our bodies.
Building health comes from just one mindful choice at a time!
Love,
Leslie



I love life, people, and my work. Along with being the author of the healthy you, weight loss book, "Getting into Your Pants," I am a weight loss cheerleader, feel-good-about-you motivational health public speaker, and have had a thriving chiropractic practice for over 30 years.
Leslie,
You always keep things so simple and “Easy!” Your fruit-for-breakfast, salad-for-lunch, and veggies-first-for-dinner approach is do so doable. If there is a choice, the “will it feed me or deplete me” question gives good pause to help make a better decision.
Thanks for your unending encouragement and positive attitude! I’ve forwarded many of your myth-busters to friends because you always put things in an understandable and non-preachy perspective.
Love your new website. It’s wonderful that you will be more visible and inspiring to even more folks who will benefit from your loving encouragement!
Congratulations on your new cyber adventures! S.
PS – My new BFF is FFB, SFL, and VFFD!
Hi!!!!!!!!!!!! My boyfriend is an excellent chef and every time he makes me something delicious and depleting I let myself know that it’s ok this time but to not make a habit of it. I want to be healthy, slim, and fit!!!! Eventually, I will train him to make me feed me foods!!!! Love, Erin
VERY cute, Sweetie!
Thanks for posting on my new web site! And, yes, that’s what every woman dreams of — her man making her feed-me foods!!!
I love you!
Your Mama

Now that I have finished reading your book “getting into your pants” I am reading John Robbins book “Reclaiming our health”. If you do not have it, when I finish it I will donate it to your library. I commend you on your dedication to the cause.
Love to you,
Laura
Yeah feed me. I love fruit in the morning. It is the rest of the day I have trouble with.
Katy
Hey, Katy!
That’s great! Eating fruit all morning is one-third of your day, one-third of your life eating impeccably well!
Excellent!
Love,
Les
Thank you, Laura, for reading my book!
And John Robbins is wonderful with so excellent information!
So fun to hear from you! I think of you.
Love,
Leslie
Finally got around to reading your new blog, Leslie. It’s delightful! I always love and appreciate what you have to say. Fruit in the morning, salad or veggies for lunch and dinner with occasional forays into those forbidden foods (the ‘wiggle room’ philosophy) is working great for me! Thank you for all that you (and your lovely staff) do!
Hugs,
G.
Thank YOU, Gale! You’re a sweetie, you are!
You certainly are doing great with REAL foods (with a bit of wiggle thrown in).
I mean, look in the mirror! You’re looking amazing, girl!
Thanks for taking your time to visit and share!
Love,
Leslie
