Frequently Asked Questions
As is true of virtually this whole site at the moment, these are a work in progress. As more questions come to mind, this page will be fleshed out.
Q: Are you a certified dietitian?
A: NO! Everything you see here is the result of my own anecdotal
history. I have no training in diet and welcome suggestions of my
own ignorance. Every piece of advice I give is something I believe
and feel that it has been helpful to me, but they always say you
should consult a doctor before trying any program, and that's great
advice.
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: I want the world to be a better place, and if I can help in some
way, my life will have a net positive impact. That's my goal. My
weight loss decision came as a result of a good friend's death at
the age of 53 due, primarily, to his obesity. I decided that I
wanted to see my daughter graduate from college, so I started my
transformation.
