Your weight Expert advice to help you maintain a healthy weight Dissatisfied with your weight? We're bombarded with scare stories about weight, from size zero to the obesity 'epidemic'. But a healthy weight is determined by different factors for each of us. Our expert advice is designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, life-enhancing weight. Overweight or underweight? Being the right weight has a positive effect on wellbeing but also on our health, as being the wrong weight can cause a range of medical problems. Take a long, hard look at what you eat and how active you really are, work out what you need to change and use the following principles to adapt your lifestyle. Cut calories A gram of fat contains twice as many calories as a gram of carbohydrate or protein. Reduce high-fat foods in your diet, choose lower or fat-reduced options, use cooking oil and spreads sparingly and remove excess fat from meat. Include lower calorie options in your diet, such as fruit and vegetables. Bulky fibre-rich foods are also a good choice. Try switching from white to wholemeal bread, or choose a wholegrain breakfast cereal. Think about portion sizes Portion sizes have increased over the years, especially when it comes to ready meals and snack foods. This means we're consuming extra calories, but we adapt quickly to eating bigger portions and don't tend to feel fuller as a result.

SUNNINGDALE, England (AP)—Michelle Wie skipped a major to play on the PGA Tour this week. Annika Sorenstam, Helen Alfredsson and Paula Creamer wonder why. After all, Wie has yet to win on the women’s tour and has never made the cut on the PGA Tour. Wie, who is managed by her parents, was listed in qualifying for the Women’s British Open at Sunningdale. But she pulled out and instead has a sponsor’s exemption for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open at Reno, Nev. It is her eighth PGA Tour event. Sorenstam is playing in her final major before she leaves golf at the end of the season. She is chasing her 11th major and 73rd title. She made a brief foray on the PGA Tour but questioned Wie’s decision to duck a women’s major. “Well, we all have different agendas in life,” Sorenstam said. “I had a wonderful experience and, when I look back on my career, I will always think about that. I think it was really a turning point in my career and as a person. “I really don’t know why Michelle continues to do this. We have a major this week and, if you can’t qualify for a major, I don’t see any reason why you should play with the men.” Alfredsson is coming off a victory at Sunday’s Evian Masters at age 43. She has doubts about the advice that 18-year-old Wie is receiving from her parents.
