Expert Profile: Arlene Virginia

Expertise: I can answer questions related to eating and drinking low carb in fast food places and in restaurants. Don't avoid dining out because you are managing your sugar or carbs, instead make good decisions about what to eat and enjoy yourself!

Experience in the area
I have successfully lost weight curbing carbs despite eating out 2 - 3 times a week. I have been through all the levels of eating low carb, from the strict (Atkins induction) to the least strict (South Beach-like), so I know how to manage multiple levels either for weight loss, weight maintenance or diabetic dining. I am also a manager of Maine Cottage Foods, LLC, offering diabetics and low carb dieters premium and healthful alternatives to sugared chocolate and confections.

Education/Credentials
Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? To encourage restaurants to offer carb-conscious diners more options, from appetizers to desserts.

What do you like about this subject? I love to eat and love to learn, so it's a double bonus learning about new ways to eat well.
