For many people, knowing what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat is a puzzle they've lost all hope of solving. Anyone who has tried to make a commitment to healthy eating knows the obstacles: the dizzying array of choices in grocery stores and restaurants; the crazy, on-the-go schedules of every member of the family; the relentless hype and marketing surrounding fatty and sugary snack foods; and the habits, traditions and humongous portion sizes that fuel powerful appetites. In this new television special, nutritionist and #1 **New York Times* best-selling author Joy Bauer explores and explains these serious health issues in a fun and friendly format -- all with a step-by-step action plan.
