As you loosen your belt and renew your vows to cut back on second helpings and sign up at the gym, pause. Step one of any weight loss program is setting an attainable goal. Read all about why it matters in Food for Thought. And if your diet doesn’t seem to be delivering the weight loss you planned, check out Prof Trim’s piece on why those careful energy in /energy out calculations don’t always add up.

Good eating, good health and good reading.
