Mr Pedometer & the News – Which Diets Work Best?
Good news. USA Today reports on a study comparing low-carb and low-calorie/low-fat diets. Results showed nearly identical benefits.

A proper diet includes a balanced physical activity plan. http://www.EatRightMoveMoreAlliance.com encourages a balanced lifestyle by promoting the Energy Balance Equation: Calories IN must match Calories OUT.
