about

Hello All,
I am counsellor with over 12 years experience specializing in parenting, families, youth and mental health. I answer questions in a blunt and straightforward way so if you are looking for coddling or really touchy feely type advice thats not me I provide real solutions for your problems and concrete suggestions in other words I tell you the plain truth I don't sugarcoat.

I am really worried these days with the easy access to the internet and all the false information that is out there and the fact that people believe it!! So please ask first. I don't claim to have all the answers but I can claim that NOTHING will shock me you can try though :)

I look forward to hearing you thoughts and questions.

advice

so i'm a xc and track runner, and i want to lose a little bit of weight. i run 5-8 miles a day and i don't want to not eat enough. about how many calories a day is enough for someone who exercises this much? and how much should i get if i want to lose a few pounds?

Hey I asked my mom this, she trained to be a nutritionist, she said that a minimum should be about 1500 a day as you are burning quite a bit. The best way to find out because it differs with size, weight etc is to ask a health care professional.

Hope this helped.
