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.

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?

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.
