| Greetings!
After having weight loss surgery in 2002, Chef Dave Fouts quickly realized bariatric patients had no good resources for delicious, pouch-friendly meals. He started to create his own nutritious, flavorful dishes to make mealtime fun again. And, when friends clamored for this classically trained chef’s recipes, he gladly shared with them. Now, he’s going to share with you! He’s hosting our new show, Eating Right Every Bite. Click here to see the first episode!
