In my practice, I often work with people who are managing a chronic disease (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.) and while weight loss is never a focus, there is a common misconception that when individuals start making dietary changes to manage their chronic disease, weight loss will follow. After all, we're always taught that if we eat the "right" foods and move in the "right" ways, our bodies will get smaller.

Easter is coming, and if your house is anything like my house, that means that the Easter Bunny is on his way with lots of sweet treats for the whole family to enjoy. While some people are excited for Eater treats, many people get very nervous to have additional chocolate and sugar in the house.
