PREPARE IN ADVANCE
If you think you’re going to be able to wing it and prepare quality foods quickly at home, you’re mistaken. Planning meals and shopping in advance ensure that you don’t wind up walking into your kitchen, opening the fridge, closing it in frustration and gathering the kids to go to McDonald’s.

This is a MUST read before you start any diet.
“Give me answers: How can I lose weight? Please tell me the secret(s)!!” I’m asked these questions all the time. As if I had some magical secret that would leap from these pages and grab that doughnut out of your hands and shove an apple into your mouth.
It’s not happening.
So what is my advice? What’s different from the last 600,000 or so words I’ve written or said on the countless news and TV programs where I’ve been asked to speak?

Motivation for Diet & Exercise
Even A Few Minutes Matters: If you don’t feel like exercising, tell yourself you’ll do it for just 10 or 15 minutes. Doing a little something is better than doing nothing at all. Once you get started, you may even find the energy to keep going.Get Reinforcements: Turn to family members or friends for motivation. Inform them of your goals and ask them to help you achieve what you’re working for by being your “cheerleaders” or joining the cause themselves.Change It Up: Change your exercise routine to prevent boredom.

Can a Leopard Really Change its Spots? Yes! You, Too, Can BREAK IT!
The mistake most people make when they make their New Year’s resolutions is thinking change is simply about willpower. People believe they can make a resolution and just resolve to “make it happen,” when in fact, it’s nearly impossible to effect real and lasting change in your life through sheer force of will. In order to make fundamental, long-term changes in your life, there are very specific steps and guidelines that, when properly implemented, can significantly increase your likelihood of success.

So why do we feel more comfortable eating “natural,” “fresh” or “organic” foods? “We are less afraid of any risk when it’s natural and more afraid when it’s manmade,” says David Ropeik, a lecturer on risk communication at the Harvard School of Public Health. He cites two reasons. One: There is an “implicit lack of trust by the consumer in businesses that are out for their own profit, and we trust nature a lot more.” Two: When we encounter things we don’t understand, we don’t trust them, or at least we proceed with caution. And according to Ropeik, there is not necessarily any reason to fear processed foods. He argues that there is a much higher risk associated with food poisoning or an allergic reaction than with chemicals or pesticides used in foods — even long-term.
