X Marques the Spot

The Bite:
imageSearching for a path away from the Ben & Jerry’s aisle? Target Santa Monica food coach Susan Marque, who’ll help aim you toward body-friendlier eats. Just set up a private session in person or via phone (which saves CO2 and gas), and she’ll use principles from macrobiotics, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine, to create what she calls a "flexitarian" (aka veg-heads that occasionally stray) food plan custom-made for you. Lose weight, increase your energy, or kick a serious sugar addition (we’re on hiatus from caramels, but she’ll have to pry the vino from our cold, dead fingers). Susan’ll even meet you at the farmers market to pick out fresh fare for her quick-healthy-tasty recipes like the Hurry Curry Quinoa Pilaf. Bull’s-eye.  
Wanna Try: 
Susan Marque Food & Life Coaching (310-453-7525). Single phone coaching session, $150/hour; single in-person session, $200/hour. 

Cocktail Fact

Among the foods on the USDA’s disease-preventing, anti-aging superfoods list are beans (red, black, and kidney), blueberries, prunes, and pecans.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters eat just one locally sourced meal instead of a nonlocal one, we'll offset the CO2 emitted by 80 SUVs in a year.
