Nutrition "experts" promote eating and exercise regimens that are unrealistic for even the most dedicated weight-loss candidate. Here, a cardiologist and professional chef offers a realistic plan for losing weight, eating a balanced diet, and enjoying good food, including "forbidden" foods (in moderation) |
