I have to admit that there is no substitute for exercise, coupled with healthy eating. But shedding pounds off a big belly is always difficult. I find swimming helps me tremendously.

To charlie01: I have found that changing up your workout can help get you beyond that plateu. If you have been doing aeorbics, try pilates or vice versa. Try a different form of work out to awaken muscles and muscle movements that maybe weren't covered or were focused on differently in your other work outs. Just a suggestion that worked great for me.

Simon says, "...whole grains, which are filling but not fattening." This is just flat wrong. Whole grains are more nutritious and contain more fiber, but they are calorie-dense, just like refined grains. Fat people will use this as an excuse to stuff themselves with whole-wheat bread and pasta and wonder why they aren't losing weight! A doctor should know better.

Body Fat Loss + Body Contouring = The "Triune Non-Diet" sm: 1. Follow the New Food Pyramid as per Harvard School of Public Health eating 5-6 smaller meals per day. 2. Get a minimum of 30 minutes in your target heart zone of cardio exercise daily + 1 full body strength training circuit 3x per week every other day.
3. Get a minimum of 6 hours, maximum of 8 hours sleep per night.

Hard to exercise because it's cold? I swear, most people are the biggest whiny wimps who look for excuses instead of solutions (excluding the elderly, injured or disabled). It's called dressing properly. Do you see kids making excuses to avoid going sledding or playing outside? I myself have run 9 miles outside in below zero conditions--it just takes a few more layers and some determination.

It's no wonder most people are overweight given the amount of excuses thrown out in order to avoid exercise.

Why do we automatically assume that a Harvard medical doctor is the best source of information? The fact that one has graduated from Harvard, and the fact that one is a medical doctor, does not automatically convey knowledge or expertise, it just means one has survived a grueling academic program that has little relevance to the vast majority of Americans, or their way of life.

If you wish to know about good nutrition, consult a nutritionist. If you wish to learn how to exercise safely and effectively, see an exercise specialist or a physical therapist.

If you wish to live longer, consult someone who can help you reduce stress, or more to the point, your reaction to things you perceive as stressful. This could be a mental health professional, a person connected with an organized religion, a massage therpist or acupuncturist, a shaman or energy healer, or your Aunt Betty. The only way to truly live longer is to have less stress - vitamins, diet and exercise won't make a difference, nor will herbal supplements, blood pressure pills or the right country club - less commuting, less shame and fear, more sleep and more laughter, however, may.

If you wish to live better, consult yourself, since you are the only one who can define "better."

The only reason to consult a Harvard medical doctor is to learn what it is like to be a Harvard medical doctor.

Perpetuating a broken health care system by touting advice from Harvard medical doctors will not make us healthier, it will just perpetuate a broken health care system.

I think a good diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, fish (salmon), whole grains, and even an occassional glass of red wine is a must especially for those with Alzheimer's disease or a relatted dementia
