Honoring the miracle of the oil for eight days will foil any and all attempts to eat consciously as part of a healthy lifestyle, which is probably why Weight Watchers introduced a new diet plan this week in which all vegetables and fruit have no point value. This plan encourages dieters to achieve the five portions of fruit or vegetables per day recommended by the Department of Health.
Another way to get healthy with support is a computer-based system such as SparkPeople or PeerTrainer, which offer great food, exercise and counseling advice.
Many people find inspiration in the television program: The Biggest Loser.
If you prefer a book, try Dr. Andrew Weil’s: Eight Weeks to Optimum Health. Weil suggests a healthier life style that brings more joy, strength and resilience by moving you into a diet based on whole grains, fruits, and vegetables based on his progressive Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid. He also offers suggestions such as drinking filtered water, focusing on organic produce; getting more sleep and exercise; and volunteering in your community.
None of these programs will make a difference without a real commitment to change using this helpful list:
1. Know What You Want Rather Than What You Don’t Want
2. Believe Anything Is Possible
3. Cultivate Your Overwhelming Motivation To Succeed
4. Reinforce New Patterns to Replace the Old
5. Embody Gratitude
