Weight Loss - Simple and Effective

Phone and e-mail counseling help people improve their diet and lose weight, according to a Dutch study published on Friday, January 16, 2009 that points to a potentially simple but effective tool in the fight against obesity.

Client vs Patient: Prevention is Key

Nutrition and diet are associated with seven of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States, including heart disease, cancer and stroke. Many of the most costly disabling conditions can be prevented through nutrition strategies. Overweight and obesity represent the most significant nutrition problem facing our nation today. Countless studies agree that consuming a healthy diet and increasing physical activity to achieve a 5 to 10 percent weight loss can prevent the onset of diabetes and assist with the prevention of other diseases.

Iowa Avenue was created to provide you with information, motivation and skills you can use to be healthy.

As a Registered Dietitian, it is my goal to see you as a client and not a patient. Therefore, prevention is key.
Client - being proactive, acting in anticipation of future problems
Patient - receives medical attention, care, or treatment for a debilitating condition

I’d like to encourage you to join our discussions and groups and add comments to the 1,000+ posts available to you.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can send me a private message or leave me a comment.

Take good care of yourself,
Diana Young, RD, LD, CDE

    A healthy 4th of July BBQ

    My family stayed at home enjoying cool weather in our balcony and watching a few fireworks on the sky.

    I was able to find good veggie sausages this time. They have less sodium than other brands. Put them inside a small Panini bread and made a sandwich.
