Dr. Oz knows a thing or two about staying fit. Television’s most popular doctor (who has the seal of approval from Ms. Oprah Winfrey herself) featured a segment on Monday on “The Dr. Oz Show” about belly-blasting supplements. Belly fat is one of the biggest complaints women, particularly those over 40, have today. Although exercise [...]
Strengthen your will power, but how? One reason most diets fail is that long-term goals can be overwhelmingly difficult: When the plan is to watch what you eat for the next six months, drinking one caramel latte with whipped cream seems like a minor slip. To avoid that kind of thinking, commit to eating well [...]
Lots of folks don’t think about what they eat over the holiday season until January, when they stare sadly at the number on the scale and then trudge off to hit the gym, join Weight Watchers or pick up the latest fad diet book. It doesn’t have to be that way. Health experts say you [...]

Many of us who are middle-aged have been watching our weight since our Twiggy and Tab teenage years. On and off, diet after diet, we watched our weight go up and down and back up to a number that was much higher than when we first decided to diet. So even as we agonize over [...]
Can you remember a time . . . when life was as it was . . . was enough? When you were enough–not because of what you looked like or what you did, but just because everything was the way it was? Nothing was wrong. When you were sad, you cried and then it was [...]
