Healthy Without Dieting (1:07:29)

Emily Fonnesbeck is a Registered Dietitian who owns her own private practice in southern Utah.  Her nutrition passion lies in helping individuals gain confidence with food without relying on food rules or diets.  Eating “healthy” can mean many different things depending on who you ask. To some, it means resisting the leftover chocolate cake, and to others, it means eating your veggies. Often, people turn to dieting, and then give up when their diet doesn’t work out. About 45 million Americans go on a diet each year, and yet chronic diseases related to poor quality of diet have increased. About half of all American adults have one or more of these diseases, which include obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Maybe dieting isn’t the only solution if there are so many Americans battling with these diseases. Emily Fonnesbeck teaches us about how to eat healthy without going on a diet.
