Nutrition & Weight Loss

  • Weighty Matters Recommended
    This is one of our favourite blogs, written by Dr. Yoni Freedhoff of the Bariatric Medical Institute. He describes it as "a medical realist's perspective on all matters weighty....and some lighter ones." It's an honest look at some of the hypocrisy in health care and weight loss -- such as this series about unhealthy cafeteria food at local hospitals.
