How to stay slim and trim and enjoy great foods for life. Carolyn will share the secrets to lifelong weight control by revealing the truth about dieting.

Based on state of the art nutrition information Carolyn and her co-author Densie Webb, Ph D, RD have included in their new book, The Dish on Eating Healthy and Being Fabulous!, Simon & Schuster, Atria Books, this presentation cuts through the clutter and dishes out the delicious truth on food, nutrition and cuisine.

As a registered dietitian and award winning television journalist who reported on food and nutrition for nearly 20 years at CNN, O’Neil shares “from the trenches” stories about the development of contemporary knowledge on food, nutrition and cuisine.

Perfect for consumer groups who want to know:
Why are portions so out of control in restaurants today? Why is olive oil considered so healthy? Do calories count? How do those high protein diets work? Why are carbs getting such a bad rap? What are the five best foods women can add to their diets today for health and vitality? How can business travelers eat out and stay fit?
