Nutrition Labels and Weight Loss

While it might seem like it will take years to understand what is healthy and what is not, this isn’t the case. Luckily for you, there are simple cheat sheets posted on every package of food and drink sold in the United States. All you need to do is learn how to read a nutrition label and you will be able to start making educated decisions about what to eat and what not to eat.

Myths about Obesity, Part 1

One of my favorite topics to lecture both to doctors and to the community about is myths and facts about obesity.

What about all these “PC” foods? or, “Why won’t junk food leave me alone?”

We already know that 300,000 people a year in the USA die from diseases of over-consumption: Diabetes, heart disease, lung diseases, cancers, high blood fats, strokes, osteoporosis and broken bones are caused or exacerbated by excess weight. How many of these deaths could be prevented if our grocery stores had a plethora of healthy foods and a paucity of purposeful crap?
