They have taught me essential skills, like the importance of portion control when eating. I now am mindful of portion sizes daily, whether I’m eating at a restaurant or at home," says David Gleim, a study participant. GCRCs collaborates with the Legume Diet Study led by Terry Hartman, PhD, Emory. |
