Welcome to Dishing of Nutrition, brought you by nutritional weight and wellness.

Listeners, let me ask you a question.

For those of you there at home, are you struggling with weight loss?

Have you tried countless diet programs without long-term success?

Or maybe you lose a little weight at first, but you gain it right back. And then some, do you feel like you're stuck with a slow metabolism?

Well, trust me, you are not alone. We see this in clinic all the time. And well, we want to stay, we want you to stay tuned because during the

next hour, we'll be offering solutions to the root cause of slow metabolism and slow weight

loss. So many of you might be thinking, I have tried everything to lose weight and nothing sticks.

I'm stuck with a slow metabolism and there's nothing I can do about it.

If this sounds familiar, we may have some great answers for you, some new ideas.

In fact, over the last several months, all of us dietitians and nutritionists

at nutritional weight and wellness have been researching and researching and meeting regularly

to discuss this phenomenon because it is such a hot topic with our clients.

We know our clients want answers and real solutions to get their metabolism

working again. So that's been our mission. I'm Melanie Beasley and I've been a dietitian for 35

years and over the many years that I have been counseling clients, my views on weight loss

honestly have evolved as the science

has evolved. It's no longer what I used to teach, which is eat less, avoid fat, exercise more.

There are many, many biochemical factors that are at play. But I explain to my clients that that's really is good news

because it means that they really never have to go on those highly restrictive, low calorie,

starvation type diets that made us all angry and they don't have to do an intense exercise program ever again to lose weight.

We work together as a team to get to the root cause of our weight gain. And guess what?
