Best Portion Tips Ever

Want to lose weight — or maintain a healthy weight? Practicing portion control will ensure you don’t supersize your servings and help you control the amount of food you eat.

One way to see how much food should be in a serving is to check the Nutrition Facts label and measure it out. But that’s not always practical. We’ll help you “eyeball” your food to gauge what’s too much — and what’s just right.

Exercises You Can Do With Your Dog

Man’s best friend is battling one of man’s worst enemies — obesity. Up to 40% of dogs in the U.S. weigh too much. Like people, overweight dogs are at risk for health problems, from arthritis to heart disease. This is one challenge you and your pet can face together. Research suggests people who exercise with their dogs are more likely to stick to a fitness program. The key is finding activities you both enjoy.

Get Firmer Muscles the Easy Way

Building muscle doesn’t require a lot of heavy lifting, just a lot of light weight lifting, a new study indicates.
