NEW DELHI NOV. 24. "Losing weight is as simple as eating more -- eating more fruits and vegetable -- and less of other things like cheese and animal fat,'' said K.K.Aggarwal, President of the Heart Care Foundation of India, at a public discussion here on Tuesday.

He pointed out that obese people should eat food that has high water and fibre content.
