Brought to you by Dr. Alana Riss Fine

I work closely with people who are working on significant weight loss, with and without gastric bypass surgery.  Have you noticed how closely our emotions are tied to food?  I was recently on WCCO Radio offering tips about how to avoid emotional eating at the holidays and throughout the year.  It's very helpful to keep a food log on paper, on your phone, or online.  Multiple studies have found that keeping a log helps people to learn to be mindful of their food intake.  Here's the interview.  Need more help?  Come see me at Partner in Healing of Minneapolis at 763-546-5797.
