Kevin D. Huffman D.O., a board-certified bariatric physician, has treated over 10,000 obese patients in his bariatric medical career and trained and mentored hundreds of physicians and allied healthcare providers. A nationally recognized leader in the bariatric medical community, Dr. Huffman has been called upon by medical/surgical societies, pharmaceutical/surgical companies, patients and hospitals to lecture and consult in the art, science and business of bariatric medicine.

As the Founder and President of American Bariatric Consultants, Dr. Huffman draws upon nearly two decades of developing treatment protocols, writing training manuals, inspecting doctors' offices and hospital programs. He also mentors and prepares physicians for board certification in bariatric medicine in order to help physicians, surgeons and hospitals enter the bariatric treatment community.

Dr. Huffman has taken part in the research and development of the best bariatric foods available on the market. Although he always recommends balancing out packaged foods with whole and organic foods, he does recommend supplementing your diet with these high protein options.
