Advice From Dietitian Liz Weiss

Looking for ideas and encouragement as you begin your journey to better family nutrition?


Dietitian Liz Weiss

I'm Liz Weiss – registered dietitian, co-author of the Moms' Guide to Meal Makeovers and, most importantly, mom to two young boys. With a busy schedule, I know firsthand the struggle that moms face when trying to put a healthy meal on the table. Kids need their fruits, vegetables and whole grains, but picky eaters sometimes resist these healthy foods. That's why I'm happy to partner with Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies. Great tasting Fiber Gummies support a daily routine that includes other nutritious, fiber-rich foods in order to help promote regularity.* Throughout this Web site, you'll find my realistic and practical tips for preparing healthy meals that kids will eat without complaint.
Bon Appetit!
