HEALTH TIP
n You don’t necessarily need to count calories:
Obesity is a matter of excess stored energy, or calories,
accumulating in the form of body fat. You can do many
things to lose weight — without ever having to count a
single calorie. Eating more protein has been shown to lead
to automatic calorie restriction and significant weight loss.
