Weight gain is not caused by a lack of willpower, eating too much and exercising too little. In fact, many patients come to us eating very little and exercising plenty. Weight gain is about much more than balancing calories in and out or simply eating less and exercising more. If the answer were indeed that simple, we wouldn’t be facing an obesity epidemic.
Many of our patients come to us after an initial diagnosis of elevated cholesterol, and some have cholesterol numbers that are high enough to be treated with medication.
If you're a woman who has struggled to lose weight in the past, have perhaps tried popular diets, all without losing weight, Pounds Transformation can help.
One of the things that makes transformation difficult is that change is not easy for anybody. But you can't expect change unless something changes.

The way the doctors painted nutrition when I was young and overweight is completely different than the way Dr. Cavo and the nutritionists paint it now.

I'm a new me now. I'm not ashamed to go into a grocery store or to be around crowds. I'm the girl that walks into a room and says hello to everybody.

I absolutely love them as they go so well with sandwiches and salads. Very satisfying crunch and so filling, and you don’t need to eat many with your lunch to feel full and satisfied. Love them and have ordered several times.
Love, love, love as a sweet treat♥️. I go to a Bible study class at a friends home. She always has sweet treats she’s made for the class. I bring one of my bars and have with decaf tea/coffee. So yummy 😋
