One in three adults is obese in America and Sutter Health registered dietitians are taking advantage of national nutrition month to raise awareness of the many strategies to combat the obesity epidemic.

“You can reach healthy weight goals by making gradual, healthy and reasonable changes in your eating and activity,” said Debbie Lucas, Registered Dietitian with Sutter Options for Success, one of the medical weight loss programs in the new Sutter Weight Management Institute.

In order to lose weight it is important to eat a healthy diet. What does that mean? “Eating less fat and fewer calories than what you are currently taking in.” says Lucas. “There are three ways to do it: eat high-fat, high-calorie foods less often, or in smaller amounts, or eat  lower-fat, lower-calorie foods instead.”

She says being physically active must be a priority.

The Associated Press reported on a new study from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism that states that a third of consumers are disappointed in news coverage.

In short, the AP article mentioned that many of the consumers said there were fewer or less complete stories and that local news has become increasingly focused on weather, sports and traffic.

SACRAMENTO, CA - A year after a Rosemont 8th grader was murdered and found dead in a park dugout, the community gathered to remember her in hopes that it might prompt someone to come forward with answers.

Candles burned in memory of 13-year-old Jessica Funk-Haslam and pink ribbons were adorned with zebra stripes to keep her spirit alive.

Detectives have interviewed hundreds of people, including students, and have checked 300 homes during their investigation to catch Funk-Haslam's killer. 

Even a year later, detectives said they're still getting tips daily.

The FBI is also working on the case. Agents said Funk-Haslam's killer is most likely a male she may have known, not a stranger, and most likely between 13 and 25 years old.

Family friend Heather Duncan is hopeful for a break in the case.
