For decades, experts advocated a low fat diet and people jumped on board. Surely, we would lose fat if we ate less fat, right?

As a doctor, I cringe to see the vast number of “diet” desserts available these days on the shelves of my local supermarket.

As you think about your New Year’s Resolutions, you may lament those from prior years that remain unfulfilled.

We’re all human, and as such, it’s a fool’s errand to deprive ourselves of our favorite treats day in and day out.
