Camire Quoted in BDN Weight Loss Story

Mary Ellen Camire, University of Maine professor of food science and human nutrition, was cited in a Bangor Daily News article about a man who has lost 120 pounds since joining TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) in 2011. Camire says there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss. Some people may need a structured program and others might excel with programs that include peer support. “Having a community where they’re all in it together I think is a very helpful tool for many individuals,” she says.
