Host: What do I have to know to get started with basic weight loss?

Elizabeth Rahavi: Well, to get started what you need to really know is that this isn't going to be about telling you what not to eat. This is going to be about telling you how you can eat the foods that you love without gaining weight. Through this video, I hope to help you think differently about the foods that you eat so that you can enjoy the foods that you love without gaining weight.
