People will talk to you about their diet history and they will say,

oh, wait, watch, or do that one work? That was great.

And you're thinking, if they all worked, then why are you looking for another one?

for three months to a year.

Well, hello there. And welcome to the Exam Room Podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee.

Hi, I am the Weight Loss Champion Chuck Carroll.

Thank you so very much for giving this show a listen, or a view, or a download,

wherever it is in the world that you are. We appreciate the fact that you are here.

Right off the bat, let's get hit with a dose of reality.

Is there a truer statement than this?

Keeping it off is the hard part, or is it?

Because today, we will be pondering that when we're joined by someone who has managed to shed those pounds

and keep them off now for almost 40 years, for decades.

Victoria Moran is living proof that where there is a will, there is a way.

And she is here today to share her secrets to long-term weight loss success,

including battling food addiction and winning that fight for all of these years.

Really impressive. Great information, great tips from Victoria will be coming up momentarily.

Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Jim Lumus will be here to help us raise our nutrition IQs when we open up the doctor's mailbag and take viewer questions,

including one from someone who nearly died after having a widow-maker heart attack four years ago.
