A TOUGH BALANCING ACT

摘要

It's been a difficult few years for dieters. First Atkins had us loading up on steak and trading skim milk for half-and-half. Soon South Beach halted our fat free-for-all, but turned us off carrots and orange juice. Then the government weighed in with a chart-filled tome (at healthierus .gov), urging us to exercise 30 to 90 minutes a day, trade Whoppers for skinless chicken breasts and actually read food labels ... dream on. To help you drown out advice you probably won't follow anyway, TIP SHEET interviewed nutrition experts and came up with the bare minimum: four simple rules diat will start you down the path to eating healthier.
