What sort of message should an anti-obesity campaign send, given that diet experts are still wrangling over such issues as whether low-fat or low-carb diets work better? "How about just eat less, move more and eat your fruits and vegetables?" suggests Nestle. Few people appreciate more fully than she just how difficult it would be for the Federal Government to approve such a message. "Move more" is not a problem.

What she did was buy a couple of books that listed the nutritional value and calorie content of the foods she ate, including prepared items. Then she gave up fried foods and alcohol, began preparing her own meals and loaded up on fruits and vegetables. Finally, she started moving--first by joining a swimming pool, then walking, hiking, biking, even surfing for a while. To this day, she limits what she eats, exercises at least an hour...
