Association
Following

to Lose Weight Without Going Hungry", Psychologist Dr.
David Weed and Southcoast
Health Registered Dietitian Amanda Raposo, MS, RDN, CDE, presented a
session at the Massachusetts
Dietetic Association Nutrition
Convention and Exposition on April 1, 2016 on "Why do we continue
to recommend limitations on dietary fats - What is the current
evidence?". Dr. Weed the session started
by explaining the rationale for lifting limits on dietary fats while
cutting back on carbohydrates as the key factor in lowering obesity rates.
Ms. Raposo followed by describing the positive results she has had in
treating obese patients in the Southcoast
Diabetes Management Program. This approach to reducing obesity
by reducing
dietary carbohydrates and increasing fat is backed
by years of research that contradicts current recommendations. Click
