Leisure-time activities don't have to involve food. You might even burn a few calories while you're at it!

There are plenty of ways to kick back—and they don't have to involve food

The many ways that people spend time together center on food. Here are some suggestions for fun things you can do with your friends, loved ones, and weight-loss partners that don’t involve food.
