It's really ultimately about what you can stick with long term.” - Matthea Rentea MD “Number one, you need to know what your actual goals for nutrition are. And then number two, the path you pick needs to be sustainable.” - Matthea Rentea MD “There are actually tons of people that can make a lifestyle work where they're going out to eat often or where they're getting lots of prepared foods.” - Matthea Rentea MD “No matter what your world looks like, you can make it happen.” - Matthea Rentea MD “You just stay in your own lane.
