I think women don't eat enough protien and eat too much of the wrong things..i.e. soda and eat too few GOOD calories. They think the medical profession will 'fix' anything. These women are afraid of gaining weight, rather than really focusing on a VERY good diet, rich in protien and other essential nutrients. The answer seems very simple and yet, much more difficult to do, for many of them. But the outcome is SO MUCH BETTER!!! Dr Manny,
