“Eat less, exercise more” is a familiar mantra, especially to anyone who has ever tried shedding a few pounds. But do those four words, in fact, hold the key to successful weight loss and management?
This hour, we find out what researchers at Tufts University have learned about the relationship between diet, exercise, and the numbers on your bathroom scale.
Are you struggling with your weight? What approaches have you taken in your quest to "get fit"? As always, we want to hear from you.
