Hello
I’m Dr. Latonya Fore-Williams, an obesity and weight management nurse practitioner. My patients often say “I’ll ask Tonya before I try that”. My goal is to teach as many people as I can the truth about weight management, without all the fluff and fad information.
If you follow me, you’ll learn the most up-to-date, science-backed, evidence-based information on weight management.
My Story
Lose. Gain. Lose. Gain. I did this at least a million times. Losing weight was not an issue for me…I could do that. It was keeping the weight off I found the most challenging. I read every new diet book that came out. And tried just about any diet that promised fast results. I would lose 20 pounds, then regain 15 pounds. Then lose 25 pounds and regain 30 pounds. It was a never-ending battle. And even as a 22-year-old new registered nurse working with patients who had bariatric surgery, I still didn't understand obesity. It wasn't until 2014 that I truly understood the science behind weight loss. I wish I could tell you I know everything about weight loss. I don't. I wish I could tell you I have won the "battle of the bulge". I haven't. Like most of you, I fight. Every. Day. I hope to share the truth about weight loss through the research and personal experience I gained over the last 18 years and help you reach your goals.
