	from Fiona Haynes Eating out is a treat, but if you're trying to eat healthy, you not only have to watch what you eat but also how much you eat. What can restaurants do to help us? Also this week: if you need to shed those last few pounds before summer, we can show you how to get started on a low carb diet. Confused about fats? First they're all bad, now some are good. We can help you sort through the confusion. Have a wonderful week.

Should Restaurants Limit Portions?
Restaurants are urged to serve healthier foods and smaller portion sizes. The Keystone Center, a non-profit public-policy and education organization, recently released its final report on "Away-From-Home Foods: Opportunities for Preventing Weight Gain and Obesity." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration had asked the Keystone Center to hold a forum to seek out ideas to fight obesity when eating outside of the home.

Getting Started on a Low Carb Diet
Ordinarily, I'm not one to encourage short-term weight loss goals. I think it's much better to focus on long-term changes for the sake of health. But I also know that realistically, there are those who would prefer to drop a few pounds before heading to the beach or pool. So if you'll promise me you'll try to find the healthiest diet for you in the long run, I'll help you let go of some extra weight in the short run, by cutting carbs.
