Many people are hungry around 3 or 4 o’clock, which is often referred to as the “3 o’clock slump.” For many of us, the most common remedy is to grab a cup of “Joe” or a quick sugar fix like a candy bar. Unfortunately, while the coffee will wire you for a while and the sugar will give you a quick shot of energy … you will most probably find yourself crashing in a short amount of time. Your best bet for curbing those hunger pangs is to consume some protein for lasting energy. With that in mind, here is one of my favorite late afternoon treats: These Hummus Eggs are easy to make and will fill you up while giving you the energy you need to power you through until dinner time. Hummus is high in fiber to make you feel full while keeping your blood sugar levels from … Read More

Just call Judy! She will work miracles!
After spending the last 7-8 years being overweight I had finally had enough. Confident I could lose the fat myself, I tried dieting for about a month with minimal success. Frustrated, I turned to Judy. Judy sat me down, talked to me openly and honestly, and helped me to set realistic goals. Within two weeks of following Judy’s plan there was noticeable loss, and I felt healthier than ever! Every time I had a craving she was there to offer a healthful alternative. We tracked my weight loss weekly and if there was no change she was there to suggest more exercise or a change in the diet. Now, 4 months later, I have lost a total of 46 pounds and went down 8 dress sizes! Family and friends constantly compliment me on my “new” look and always ask my advice. I tell them, “Just call Judy! She will work … Read More
