Fwd: [MtClemensBariatricSupport] Dr. Fox's Plateau Busting Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi all

this was given to me at one of my support group meeting in Mi. a good friend

reminded me of it. I thought I might share it with all of you. Sheryl

This is a handout that we had received at one of the previous

meetings. I actually believe Felicia had brought this in for us. I

thought I would post it for those who have not seen it, or run

across this, as I know we will all struggle from time to time with

that wonderful plateau period.
