Summary
Losing weight is rarely easy! That is no secret. What isn't being talked about is that many of the popular diet programs people are turning to for help are actually causing them to gain weight over time! Why is that?
The truth about weight loss is unveiled when "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Chef AJ and Tobias Weihofen on The Exam Room™. Both are on a personal journey to improve the health of others still struggling with extra weight.
Chef AJ has maintained her dramatic weight loss by making changes to her diet that have enabled her to keep it off for years! Meanwhile Tobias' eyes were opened to obesity epidemic when he came to America as an exchange student from Germany. Never had he seen so much high fat fast food and large portions! He watched first hand as his host family struggled with their weight because of their poor eating habits.
Both knew they had to use their experiences to help others. So, they teamed up to create The Truth About Weight Loss Summit which is bringing together 40 of the world's top researchers, doctors and dietitians to help thousands struggling with obesity.
This interview has science, facts, and inspiration to get you started on a healthier future!
Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck to talk about the seven questions that patients wish their doctors knew more about when it comes to how food can affect their heart.
