My husband and I are both obese and I HATE to cook. I am curious if you know of any personal chefs in town that would prepare a week's worth of HEALTHY meals ahead of time and tell us what to eat and when. Right now we eat out a lot and eat a lot of TV dinners, which are both poor choices. Even the 'easy recipes' are not that easy and are a pain. Please advise.

I was wondering if I might be able to set up an appt with you for my son and daughter sometime soon. My son is 7.5 yrs and overweight, 90lbs. Our Dr. has shown some concern, but just encouraged more exercise. We'd like to get more of a plan set up with him though. My daughter is 10.5 months and underweight. She's breastfed and just really started with solids. She's 16.5 lbs and the Dr. was showing a little concern about her weight as well. Please let me know what we can do to set up an appt with you. Thanks!! Angela Tastad

My one year old has a dairy allergy. How much calcium should he have in a day? I'm trying to ensure his diet contains the appropriate amount of calcium needed for a growing child.

I have a roommate who has diabetes and it's getting worse. He was told to stay away from carbs and sugars. What is the best diet for him? I am concerned and want to put him and myself on a diet so he is not alone.
