If the scale hasn't budged since you turned 40, try making an appointment with a registered dietitian (RD). In a University of Minnesota study, researchers instructed 26 middleaged adults to meet with a dietitian weekly for nearly 3 months. Those who attended all scheduled sessions lost 67 percent more weight than those who skipped out on appointments. Even better news: Although not all dietitians accept health insurance, many plans do offer partial or full coverage for affi liated practitioners, depending on your needs. Call your provider to find out what your plan includes. By Rachel Meltzer Warren. Source: June 2008 issue of Prevention.

Get Pesticide-Free Fruit Every Time
Look at the sticker for an organic guarantee.
Here's a fast way to find organic produce at the grocery store: Look at those pesky stickers. A 4-digit number means the food was conventionally grown; a 5-digit number beginning with 9 means
it was grown organically. "If you buy a conventional banana at the grocery store, the sticker will read 4011. An organic one will say 94011," says Barbara Haumann, spokesperson for the Organic Trade Association. Our recommendation: Check for the 9 on produce you eat most often. By Rachel Meltzer Warren.
