(D)to be buriedIn the summer, many people often decide to get fit. But
their motivation is correct, the methods sometimesare not. Over the years, statements like “eat less to lose weight” have been passed around as good advice. In fact,
fitness strategies are unhealthy— and even dangerous. Unfortunately, many people want to lose weight so badly that theywill believe any advice— good or bad. Here are two of the most
myths about getting fit.“If I just eat less, I will lose weight.” Many people only focus on the amount of food they consume each day. Theyneglect to pay attention to what they’re eating. So they may be eating less, but they’re not eating healthily. Be sure to eata good balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats. You need all three food groups to
a healthy body. What youeat is just as important as how much you eat.“If I build muscle, I will gain weight.” This statement is actually true. Muscle is more dense than fat, so the sameamount weighs more. But muscle also takes up less space. When you
muscle, you will be thinner and yourclothes will feel looser.41

Back then, onSeptember 10, 2001, Washington, still reeling from an election that rested on a mere 537 votes in Florida, was recoveringfrom culture shock. The Bushes ran a very different White House than the Clintons. They were on time for appointments,they spent quiet evenings with intimate friends, and they went to bed early. Not exactly a hip Hollywood lifestyle. But theFirst Lady, a title she still thinks of as too lofty and inauthentic to describe her, was winning hearts and minds. She is,after all, a teacher and educator. She taught elementary school in Houston and Austin for several years, and produced anoutstanding book fair in Washington with some of America’s greatest authors populating vast lawns filled with tents,talking to throngs about their works. Laura Bush’s love of reading is partly what defines her. I always wondered if bookswere substitutes for the brothers and sisters she didn’t have growing up in Midland, Texas and if they kept her fromfeeling lonely.
