Partners Executive Director Dr. David
Weed and Katie Beth Wright presented another session in the on "How to Lose Weight Without Going Hungry" to
25 participants 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. Dr. Weed
explained why grains, such as found in bread and other baked goods, often
leads to weight gain while low-carb
food
choices can result in weight loss. Click here for
