My Bariatric Life

(Profile)
In 2003, I made a decision that would forever change my life. Since that time, I have been following a program of lifetime obesity disease management to sustain long term weight loss.

Elimination Diet Time

Last week I wrote about House Bill 345 that, if passed, would make getting health-related nutrition advice from anyone other than a doctor or registered dietitian impossible. My friend Cheryl, a certified holistic health coach, went down to Richmond to argue against the passing of the bill last week. I finally heard from her last night, and she... Read moreChevron
