Everytime I hear the words, “As long as it is in moderation”, I cringe. I think when I decided it was just a crappy word was when I saw Corn Association sponsored commercial, touting that high fructose corn syrup in “moderation” was fine to incorporate into a diet. Seriously!?! At that moment I struck the word from my mental dictionary, forever banning it from rolling off my tongue.

Hi Everyone!
I am extremely excited to introduce you to the newest addition to TruPrevention…Mandy Tyler. She will be a resident blogger on this site. Mandy is a registered dietitian and licensed athletic trainer with a pretty amazing background (she is also my neighbor…how cool is that!). She is pretty modest too. When she is talking about “teams” in the San Antonio area…she worked with the pro basketball team the Spurs. She’ll work with me to give food for thought (yes, pun intended) and answer questions about health and nutrition…just ask! So with no further ado, here is Mandy!

Granted there was truth to it, but it was my job to challenge them and I chalked it up to them having to get over mental barriers. I had no idea I would soon be able to fully relate to how they were feeling.
