The BBC has just run an interesting TV series where a doctor visits families in their homes and improves their health by changing their diets, and adding exercise. The results are both visible and -- importantly -- measurable.
Of course, medical advice on diet hasn't always been entirely correct, but I think there's a pretty broad consensus on Dr Chatterjee's approach -- cut out the fast food and processed foods, avoid added sugars, cut carbs, eat more veggies and fibre, eat a wider variety of foods etc. You don't really med school training to figure this out.

The series is going to be repeated in January so UK residents will be able to watch them.
