Ultimate Guide For Healthy Weight Loss

What Is Healthy Weight Loss?

When asked the above question, many of us tend to go negative. We’re thinking, “I want to lose weight, but I don’t want to damage myself in the process.” Healthy weight loss means…

But it’s important to understand that everyone’s journey is individual,” stresses Dr. Tom Rifai, MD, FACP, Medical Director of Metabolic Nutrition & Weight Management at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital in Michigan and member of the Pritikin Scientific Advisory Board.
