For 'National Nutrition Month' in March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages individuals to "Go Further with Food" by storing food properly to reduce waste and lower your grocery costs. Did you know that around 31 percent of all edible food is wasted in the U.S., and American households throw away nearly 28 percent of fruits and vegetables? Fortunately, you can take steps to help prevent reduce these numbers!
MWLC Patient Perspectives: Paul S. - Flint
“I knew I’d been gaining weight, but I saw a photo of myself and could not believe how big I looked. It made me start thinking about other things, like that it took me three tries to put on my socks, how easily I’d get short of breath, and that even mowing the lawn was difficult. Medical Weight Loss Clinic created a meal program for me that consisted of six to seven smaller meals a day that had lots of vegetables and some protein. The plan was easy to follow, so I was able to stay on track with my goals.”
- Paul S., 50 years old, Flint
