Dear Visitors and Friends,
Welcome to my home page…
I am a Clinical Dietitian, specialized in enteral and parenteral nutrition, based in Beirut, Lebanon. Currently working as a head dietitian/internship director in a hospital and teaching major nutrition courses for B.S. students majoring in Nutrition & Dietetics. I also consult in my private clinic for weight gain/loss and different diet therapies.
I have currently my own nutrition talk show on TV, in addition of being a regular spokesperson on a Lebanese Radio Station and a contributor to many nutrition articles in Lebanese/Middle Eastern magazines and journals, as well as a frequent guest on many Lebanese TV stations as a health nutritionist consultant.
I am a member of the Lebanese Dietetic Association in addition to many other international nutrition & dietetics associations and a regular lecturer in many Lebanese schools and non-profit organizations about healthy eating and nutrition.
I agree that we are daily bombarded with too much conflicting health/nutrition and weight loss information which sometimes lead us to the wrong conclusions and choices of foods. This particular point, motivated me to establish this website in order to promote greater awareness among the general population about nutrition and its health related issues in addition to providing greater support to all my clients, students and trainees who believe in me.
Throughout my professional career, I always believed that a good weight loss program promotes a healthy diet, a healthy weight loss and most importantly a lifelong weight maintenance.
My home page's main purpose is to provide information on effective weight loss and diet therapies to many metabolic diseases, in addition to the latest researches, innovations and developments in the field of nutrition and dietetics with the aim of educating and teaching people how to understand and interpret nutritional information and plan a healthier diet for themselves.
Last but not least I would always like you to remember two major points that in my opinion were and will always be the basis of your healthy lifestyle:
·It's never too late to break your old habits and break in some healthy new ones
·It's never too late to improve your health and prevent illness
If you have any questions, need more information about nutrition and healthy eating patterns or want to book a conference please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards, Carla

Carla's Tip of the Day!
GINGER contains volatile oils which help your body produce more digestive juice and neutralize the acids produced in your stomach which are normally responsible for cramping, nausea and diarrhea. Other compounds in ginger may also help hold off migraines and arthritis pain. Ginger also helps treat head colds and has an antihistamine effect. A teaspoon of fresh gingerroot has only 1 calorie and 0 fats. Have it as a herbal drink (peel the brown skin, slice and let boil in water) or into a stir-fry for a healthy dish.
