Susan Weiner RD, MS, CDE
Nutrition Expert


Traveling the Internet and discovering the many talented dietitians is a wonderful experience.  I have learned about the numerous specialties, cultural diversity, advances in research, legislative news, current events, ADA campaigns, new recipes and I even made some new friends along the way.

This week my journey takes me to
Susan Weiner Nutrition
.

“Beans are an inexpensive meat substitute, which can save money
and add years to your life. They are high in fiber, rich in vitamins,
antioxidants, and phytochemicals. Beans are the
versatile way to add protein and fiber
to your diet without busting your food budget.”
