Summary
Fiber is the Clark Kent of the nutrition world. Hiding in there is Superman with amazing super powers! This disease fighting powerhouse can reduce your risk of developing cancer and diabetes, cut food cravings, lower cholesterol as well as your odds of having arthritis painfully takeover your joints. And it can help you live longer, too!
But what really keeps fiber flying high is its ability to battle the bulge, fight the flab, and help you lose weight!
Unfortunately, the Standard American Diet is anything but heroic. In fact, it's just plain SAD as the rate of obesity continues to climb.
So, in this episode, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Stephen Neabore, M.D. and Lee Crosby, R.D., L.D. from the Barnard Medical Center to teach you everything you need to know about fiber… and then some! It's time to get healthy!
You'll also hear the inspirational story of Evan Bass who transformed his near 300-pound body into a lean, mean running machine! His success is built on hard work, discipline, and a relentless drive to not just live, but to thrive!
