Health & Nutrition

Now, here’s a refreshing thought: to attain your ideal weight, just don’t think about it. So often we hold ourselves up to an ideal and are then miserable because we can never achieve the level of perfection we desire. BOYT brings our readers a different perspective with Linda Bacon, author of Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight. With scientific knowledge gained from a doctorate in physiology, specializing in weight regulation, as well as graduate degrees in psychology, Linda is a popular and compelling public speaker as well as a professor, researcher, psychotherapist, exercise physiologist and consultant.

Whether you want to lose weight or just eat healthier, we’re always told to “eat right,” but what does that mean? We went to Timothy S. Harlan, M.D., better known by many as Doctor Gourmet, for his advice. A chef before he became an internist, Harlan has an interesting perspective on the whole notion of eating well.
