How Not To Diet - Week Seven with Kathy Taylor - Get Some Nuts!
Dr. Greger solves the mystery of the obesity epidemic: Eat fewer calories per spoonful and you will lose weight! It’s not how much we eat that makes us gain weight, but what we eat. For vibrant health and weight control we need to eat a variety of whole plant foods, rich in fiber, as well as avoid meats and highly processed foods.
Join Kathy Taylor on a video journey through the landmark book on reversing the world-wide Obesity Epidemic, How Not to Diet by Dr. Michael Greger.
Whether you need to lose 50+ pounds or that last pesky five pounds, Dr. Greger’s evidence-based “tips, tricks, hacks and tweaks” for healthy, fast tracked weight loss will be a support to help you achieve your goal. Kathy’s weekly videos will chronicle her adventures of discovery and weight loss as she applies the research studies at home.
