Partners Executive Director Dr. David
Weed presented another session in the series on "How to Lose Weight Without Going Hungry"
as part of the Greater
Fall River Fitness Challenge. The series is offered to Challenge
participants who are attempting to lose weight in the Challenge through
exercise, though research is clear that exercise is not a good for
long-term weight loss. Low
carbohydrate, high fat diets, on the other hand, have repeatedly
been demonstrated to lead to significant weight loss, especially
when compared to low-fat, calorie-restricted approaches. In this session, Dr. Weed
and Southcoast Registered Dietitian Amanda Raposo talked about the
challenges of maintaining a low-carb, high-fat diet when one eats away
from home. Click here for
