Author Description
Teresa Marie Howes is an expert in nutrition with a career in the weight-loss industry. Although she's always known the "right" things to do to stay trim, like many, she's struggled with actually following through. Her very active social life in San Diego, coupled with her career in weight loss, led her to recognize how much women battle with social drinking when it comes to balancing fun with their figures. Throughout her career, Teresa found that it's more effective to empower people to live long, healthy lives without having to sacrifice everyday joys. Instead of telling clients to give up certain foods and activities, her approach is to find creative solutions and small modifications to habits that allow women struggling with their weight to continue enjoying life's little pleasures. That's why she's so passionate about SkinnyTinis. Through recipe books, skinnytinis.com, and small class instruction, she's on a mission to show social drinkers that they truly can have all the fun for half the calories!
