How To Reduce Weight Naturally?

Hi a friend of mine weighed over 500 pds before having gastric bypass. Now she is down 100 pds after a year. This is due to the surgery only she does not exercise and to my judgement is a heavy drinker. What can I do to encourage her to be healthy? And what kinds of exercises can she do?

Hello and thank you for your question. Encouraging your friend to eat a healthier diet and do some walking every day would be an excellent supportive thing for you to do. You might advise her to read the book "The China Project" on the benefits of a plant based diet. Cutting out all alcohol would be a very good thing to encourage as well. Good luck and thanks for using HCM.
