What types of foods can I eat?

In order to make this a lasting, long term lifestyle change we advise using normal store bought foods found at your local grocery. A wide variety of healthy foods including healthy proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are necessary for long term health. Counting calories and utilizing healthy eating choices discussed during your visits, you'll find you can lose weight and still eat your favorite foods.
