A member asked:

Hi, i want to lose weight, because i'm overweight. what kind of things should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Overweight: Two things: 1: Exercise at least twice a week. 2: Have you and your mother go online to "NuVal". It lists about 100 items reporting the food values with zero being worst and 100 being best. There are also several other articles on the web but I think this is the easiest to follow.
