Wa-Rite

The Wa-Rite’s total weight loss for the week was 23 pounds. The biggest loser was Bea Quintana with a loss of 4 pounds.

Mary Dominic gave a “What is Gluten” presentation. Gluten is a protein found in many grains that can cause harm to the immune system and have a negative effect on the lining of a small intestine causing diarrhea. This should be addressed with a primary physician as a leaky gut syndrome.

The meeting concluded with encouragement to eat intentionally and not habitually, which can help people find harmony with food. The weekly weigh-in is on Fridays in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, from 8-8:45 a.m. The meeting begins at 9. Everyone must present a GRF ID at the door to join the meeting.
