Hi guys,

November's York Region/GTA support group meeting will be very special. We will have a Registered Dietician coming to help us understand how to read labels. She'll also offer general nutritional advice.

The meeting will be on Sunday, 11/18/12 at 2:00. It's located Upstairs at Loblaws at 301 high Tech Road in Richmond Hill (Hwy 7 & Bayview).

These meetings are excellent places to get your questions answered, find great advice & helpful tips. Please make every effort to come out.

During this meeting, our guest speaker will be able to answer our most commonly-asked questions like:

1) What’s the difference between Sugar Free & No Sugar Added? Can we consume No Sugar Added products?

2) Do I have to avoid natural sugars like fruit?

3) What are examples of “good” fats vs “bad” fats?

4) What are examples of “good” Carbs vs “bad” carbs?

6) Is it OK to drink alcohol while losing weight?

12) I’m vegetarian. What can I do to get my 60 grams of protein/day?

13) Is it OK to take sugar substitutes (ie: Splenda etc). How much is OK to take daily?

14) Is it OK to drink diet soda?

15) I’m supposed to drink 8 cups of water per day. Does coffee or diet Coke count as water?
