It was just an incredible trip to the Obesity Help conference in
Dallas. The response to our work was SO enthusiastic, and my head
spins with the number of ways that we can really have a positive
impact on this population of patients.<\/p>\n
I met Chef Dave, the bariatric chef, along with the dietician who
works with him. In addition to the work they're doing for bariatrics,
they're also making huge inroads into school cafeterias by making real
foods from real ingredients. They're even doing this in public
schools!! It us going to be a pleasure to work with them both.<\/p>\n
In any case, there is a great need here for our lifestyle wellness
programs that teach healthy eating behaviors. For these people who
have made this incredible physical investment in their health status,
behavioral change is the only certain solution to make the initial
drastic weight loss permanent.<\/p>\n
I will be speaking in one month in New York City, then the next month
on Atlanta at Obesity Help's other regional events.<\/p>\n
