The SoWell Way of Eating
Description
Say goodbye to calorie counting, miserable measuring, and skimpy portions. It’s time to learn how to cook and prep food that supports your health goals without the overwhelm or restriction of dieting.
This digital ebook contains the eating strategies Dr. Alexandra Sowa uses in her obesity medicine practice to help 90% of her patients lose at least 10% of their body weight and keep it off.
The reason this way of eating works is because it teaches you foundations, not rules and strict meal plans. It will take dedication from you to apply these foundations to yourunique lifestyle and circumstances, but we promise it will be worth it!
