Since 1991, Dr. Canfield has taught nutrition at both graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as in continuing education seminars for dietitians. It is a popular misconception that you have to starve yourself and abandon any notion of enjoying food in order to lose weight.
"There is a myth in this country," states Dr. Gayl Canfield, "that healthy eating is too difficult to follow."
The most important and rewarding thing Dr. Canfield does is give people confidence that they really can "eat to be healthy."
Her patients learn that a healthy lifestyle is not about deprivation.
Instead, it's about all sorts of wonderful foods like fresh grilled seafood, savory pastas, incredible desserts – and most importantly, feeling the best that you've felt in years.
Join Dr. Canfield and Dr. Mike as they discuss this way of living and eating, also known as the "Pritikin principle."
