“I am pleased that the Empower Walk organization has chosen to utilize our Healthy Eating food pyramid and nutritional guidance within their audio book publication. Having listened to the program I believe it also offers unique advantages not found in other weight loss programs by providing cognitive-behavioral training shown to be crucial to adopting lifestyle changes required for optimum weight and good health. I highly recommend it”.
