Many people assume that to improve their health they must spend five days a week at the gym and cut all foods out of their diet that they love. By making this assumption you may be setting yourself up for failure.

You may be surprised to learn that choosing a low fat product is not always the best decision. How do you sort through all of the options to find what is truly healthy for you?

The thing that comes to my mind is salads. Everyone turns to salads when they want to improve their eating habits but there are two things you should be aware of. First, when you go on a “diet” you do not have to restrict yourself to eating salads in order to lose weight. Second, salads are not always a healthy choice.

I bring my lunch to work everyday and it is easier to sit at my desk and get a little bit of work done than it is to trek down to the cafeteria. Eating lunch (or any meal, for that matter) at your desk is not a healthy habit.

I try to watch my portions, I always include vegetables with dinner, and my snacks tend to be fruit. The thing I have the most problem with (and I suspect others do as well), is eating out. I am continually shocked at the amount of calories in restaurant food.
