Our in-house nutritionist -- Marsha Fuller -- talked about a variety of over-the-counter diet medications and their potentially dangerous side effects at the request of the group. Marsha is a Registered Dietitian and assists participants throughout the agency with their nutritional and dietary needs. She identified several diet "fads" -- like hoodia, green tea pills, ephedra -- and broke down the scientific information into understandable terms. The group also did a light workout to music by the Beatles and enjoyed a healthy cucumber salad afterwards.
