Fantastic experience: I had a Zoom visit with Janet on December 5th. It was a great visit. Janet was so understanding and helpful. I never felt that she was judging me in anyway concerning my previous food choices. She gave me so much important information to help with my food choices in order to achieve weight loss through a healthy eating plan. She had ideas for me that I never considered concerning which foods would help me get enough protein during the day. She also had many suggestions as to how to balance my meals during the day as well as the hours during which I should be eating and at what time I should end my eating for the day. I have already added items to my grocery list which she recommended which I never considered before such as protein drinks, certain cheeses, and the makings for different soups. She was so kind and made me feel encouraged and in better control of my eating habits. I look forward to our next visit. Thank you so much. Mardi Malherbet
