Have a few lbs. to lose? Get a dog!

I remember at a lecture I was giving recently someone asking me for weight loss tips. While most answers you hear boil down to "move more and eat less," I chose to reply with something that perked a few ears up, "get a dog" I said to the woman.

This week, the New York Times ran an article discussing this very subject. Check it out here: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/14/forget-the-treadmill-get-a-dog/?hpw
