Zonya Foco, RD, CHFI, CSP Zonya Foco, America's Nutrition Leader, is on a mission to win the war on obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Her easy humor and dynamic style drive home the message that, when it comes to health and nutrition, each of us can change our lives with the Power of One Good Habit. As a teen who saw her own weight bounce up and down, ending each diet at a higher number on the scale, she is now motivating people everywhere with a common-sense approach to healthy eating through her TV show, "Zonya's Health Bites," her popular cookbook, Lickety-Split Meals for Health Conscious People on the Go and her newest book, a co-authored health novel titled Water with Lemon. Before launching her speaking, writing and publishing career in 1994, Zonya received her bachelor's degree from Eastern Michigan University and then worked for eight years as a clinical nutritionist for the Michigan Heart and Vascular Institute at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor. It is from these clients that she discovered the need .for a "countertop coach" cookbook and in 1998 wrote Lickety Split Meals for Health Conscious People on the Go, filled with easy recipes and healthy tips for .everyday families. In 2005, "Zonya's Health Bites" began making converts to healthy eating across the nation. This 30-minute program airing on public television incorporates smart grocery shopping and lively cooking segments with practical exercise, and is peppered with quick "bites" of information on topics from kid-friendly veggies to heart-smart snacks. In her newest book, Water with Lemon, she has joined forces with novelist Stephen Moss to introduce a new genre – the health novel – bringing readers an inspiring story of personal transformation that teaches readers how eight simple habits can help them master diet-free, guilt-free weight loss for life. Zonya uses humor, hard facts and common sense to help people of all ages .incorporate healthy habits into their busy lives. She is committed to the idea that small, simple steps are the key to long-term lifestyle changes. In addition to spreading the word through her own books and TV show, Zonya is a favorite on local newscasts across the country, nationally-syndicated daytime talk shows and QVC. She has been published in the popular magazines Prevention, Today's Dietitian, Total Health, and Fast and Healthy Cooking.
