Losing Weight Safely  

The Department of Health and Human Services has taken a six page article and replaced it with a single, fold-out brochure, conveying the same information. Here is an excerpt.


Before

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends a half hour or more of moderate physical activity on most days, preferably every day. The activity can include brisk walking, calisthenics, home care, gardening, moderate sports exercise, and dancing.

After

Do at least 30 minutes of exercise, like brisk walking, most days of the week.
