A Word from Author

I'm the type of dietitian who believes strongly in the notion that, when it comes to food, the right answer is slightly different for everyone. That's why I write as much as I do. To offer up as many unique angles on as many unique topics as I possibly can, because I know there will always be someone, somewhere who can relate. Don't believe me? Check out my blog there is enough on there to keep you busy for a while!
