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. It began with bariatric (weight loss) surgery followed by changing the way I eat, mild exercising, and attending a support group (NOT my surgeon's support group). Today, I'm a size medium and living life larger than ever!

Primal Blueprint Diet: Introducing the 21-Day Total Body Transformation - My Bariatric Life

My husband and I have decided to go primal. Fred Flintstone, Alley Oop, hunt and gather, eat it straight from the vine, loin cloth optional primal. Okay, perhaps not primal to that extreme, but primal all the same. The principal of The Primal Blueprint is relatively straightforward and simple.

Would Supermarket Traffic Lights Encourage Healthier Choices?

A new study done at Massachusetts General Hospital suggests that if supermarkets were willing to use "color-coded labels" and re-arrange products and aisle offerings, then consumers might have an easier time making healthier food choices.
