\n

So this year, resolve not to diet. Instead:<\/p>\n

1. Eat three balanced meals a day. Have a healthy snack when hungry. Stop eating when full.<\/p>\n

2. Eat only in designated eating areas and not in front of a screen of any type.<\/p>\n

3. Eat foods that look like they come from nature, not a factory, with emphasis on vegetables, fruits and whole grains.<\/p>\n

4. Drink unsweetened or minimally sweetened beverages, including water, effervescent mineral water, and tea or coffee with no more than one or two teaspoons of sugar.<\/p>\n

5. If so inclined, have dessert every night, but keep it light (e.g., fruit, a few nuts or a small piece of something you really enjoy). Limit high calorie treats to once a week.<\/p>\n

6. Do something physically active every day. Walk rather than drive and take the stairs rather than the elevator.<\/p>\n

7. Follow items 1 through 6 for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
