"This place is unbelievable. Who knew you could get treated like
royalty just three blocks from home."

Carol Nolta

"I got kind of busy and missed my workout for a few days. I couldn't
believe it when my trainer called me to make sure everything was all
right. He wasn't about to let me slack off - and I appreciate that!"

- Tom Morgan - Roney & Company

"OAC is incredibly convenient. I can get there, do a half-hour
circuit, shower, and be back to the hospital in an hour, door-to-
door. Plus, they have the highest quality aerobic and
progressive resistance equipment I've used."

that new selections like a grilled
chicken breast sandwich and a
grilled eggplant sandwich are big
sellers.
Rick Morisette, manager of
Bruegger's Fresh Bagel Bakery
in the Southfield Plaza Shopping
Mall, said more food establish-
ments are offering healthful
menus because they are catering
to a more sophisticated clientele.
"A lot more people have be-
come health conscious. Calories
are always important, but today
people are looking at fat grams,"
said Mr. Morisette.
Kosher food, on the other hand,
conjures up images of knishes
and other artery-clogging dishes.
Rita Jerome, owner of Unique
Kosher Carry Out & Catering in
Oak Park, works to incorporate
today's health consciousness into
a completely kosher menu.
Her establishment offers pop-
ular Jewish dishes without may-
onnaise, vegetable-based soups,
grilled chicken sandwiches and
various salads for her clientele.
"Most businesspeople come in
to have good Jewish items that
aren't the healthiest in the world.
However, we do offer low-calorie
foods that are just as good with-
out all the fat and cholesterol,"
she said.
Denise Treado, a registered di-
etitian and member of the Ponti-
ac-based OHHC, said that
staying focused on eating right is
the key to success.
"Concentrate on eating a va-
riety of foods and watch out for
the fat. Order salads with dress-
ing on the side and eat broiled or
baked food instead of fried. What-
ever you do, don't feel guilty
when the day comes when you
eat fast food. The main thing to
keep in mind is the overall pic-
ture of eating right," Ms. Treado
said. 0

for the week can not only save
time but also save empty calories,
she said.
"Low-fat muffins can be baked
at home and microwaved in the
mornings. Lunches can be made
on Sunday nights and stored in
the refrigerator. Casseroles can
be reheated during the week and
augmented with fresh vegeta-
bles," Ms. Cohen suggests.
Today, Mr. Sabbota exercises
regularly and watches what he
eats. He says he still has the oc-
casional corned beef sandwich but
feels it's OK because his doctors
expect him to cheat a little. Much
of his diet consists of veal, a vari-
ety of fish and low-cholesterol
cheeses.
"On the whole, I eat more
chicken than anything else. In
fact, I'm beginning to look like
one," he said.
But for those who can't plan
a daily diet much less a week's
menu, choices can still be made
from the selections available in
fast-food row.
The Oakland Heart Health
Coalition (OHHC), an educa-
tional organization that focuses
on cardiovascular health, con-
ducted a survey of area family
and fast-food restaurants. Of 206
surveys of area eateries, 160, or
77.6 percent, offered a heart-
smart menu and made the
OHHC honor roll, 18 more
restaurants than the previous
year.
The owner of one restaurant
that made the honor roll, Steven
Goldberg of the Stage & Co. in
West Bloomfield, said creativity
is needed when developing a
menu that is kind to the heart.
"The restaurant has been
health oriented for almost 30
years. It began when dieting be-
came popular and we developed
a cabbage soup," he said, adding
