Personal struggles aside, Oprah does offer some sound advice on general healthful eating habits and exercise plans. Dr. David L. Katz and Dr. Mehmet Oz, both resident heath experts on The Oprah Winfrey Show and columnists in Oprah's magazine, have a slew of credentials to back the nutrition tips they give to Oprah audiences. Newsweek.com is serving up five of their best tips: 1. Nutrient-rich foods 2. Identifying why/when you eat 3. Setting food boundaries 4. Limiting portion sizes 5.

"It comes down to changing the way you eat." For the complete story, check out http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/thehumancondition/archive/2009/05/30/what-oprah-gets-right-on-dieting-and-nutrition.aspx
