HEY, BE WELLERS! Maybe you've tried swearing off gluten or even going vegan, but have you ever thought about eschewing the stove? Until I met the Dr. Oz-approved team that's showing Philly how to eat raw — and lose tons of weight in the process — I never dreamed I would, but now I'm chowing down on crispy kale and cutting back on my veggie stir-fries. And did you know that practicing yoga is a sin??? Lots of religious peeps say it is, and I couldn't disagree more. (Tell us what you think by commenting!) We've also got a great grill recipe from Maura, a Q&A with NFCA's founder Alice Bast, dating tips for baby boomers, and a terrific (inexpensive!) gift for Father's Day. Plus: Sick of the gym? Dr. Monti weighs in on the newest, no-sweat way to trim your tummy. Enjoy! — Jenna Bergen, Health and Fitness Editor
