About Kimberly A. Tessmer, RD LD Expertise I have been a registered dietitian since 1992 and am also an Ohio licensed Dietitian. My educational achievements include a Bachelor of Science in Technology (Nutrition) from Bowling State University in Bowling Green, OH. I currently own a consulting business called Nutrition Focus that specializes in consulting and counseling in the fields of nutrition and weight loss. My knowledge and reliability is proven by my experience as most recently a National Corporate Dietitian for 3 major weight loss companies, as a Foodservice Director/ Clinical Dietitian for a large nursing home, as a Foodservice Manager at a Community Hospital and as a Dietetic Technician at another hospital. I can answer basic nutrition questions, questions on behavior management as it relates to weight loss and weight management and questions on losing weight and keeping weight off. I do offer personal counseling services if your problem needs more individual attention. I can answer any question for you where NUTRITION is the FOCUS!
Do the diet pills that are advertised in various magazines and seen in television commercials really help a person lose weight?
I thank you for your answer and any helpful information that you provide.
Answer I do not believe in or recommend any type of "diet pills" on the market. First of all many are NOT FDA approved! Also, if a person is taking prescription medications, many of these "pills" can interact with what they are taking. Also important is that "diet pills" do NOT teach you anything. The key to successful and permanent weight loss is lifestyle change. That takes work and these diet pills advertise themselves and being the quick answer. There is no quick or magic pill that will help you to lose weight safely and permanently. You need to make changes in eating habits and exercise habits and that takes time. Losing weight is not only about weight loss but about better health.
If you are looking for help with weight loss, I do offer online services. Check out my site at: www.Nutrifocus.net.
