Review of Dr. Arya Sharma obesity talk
Post-hoc reflections on long-term obesity recovery after a 12-week VLCD (very low calorie diet) program
More in-depth reflections on the longer-term effects of following a VLCD (very low calorie diet) program involving a 12-week controlled rapid weight loss phase with 900 cal/day of food intake. I discuss finding new definitions for success and learning how to move forward more constructively.
Year 2 progress note (PfHW VLCD participant, Halifax)
My immediate reflections after completing a second 12-month round of treatment with PfHW in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I also make recommendations for new or returning participants to the program.
