WASHINGTON (AP) — The government on Wednesday told Americans to slash their calorie intake and exercise 30 to 90 minutes a day, updating guidelines that advised people to lose weight but gave few specifics on how to do it.
Sooooo, eat less and exercise more?
“Eating fewer calories while increasing physical activity are the keys to controlling body weight,” the guidelines said.
I’m just flabbergasted. Who knew?
The advice is not really new, but the government sees the guidelines as an opportunity to change people’s ways.
This is a food pyramid showing what you should eat a LOT of and what you should eat a little of. Take the hint.
