• Avoid rewards related to food and drink that may be sabotaging in the long run.
• Set up a reward system so you can reward yourself for changed behaviors.
• Goal setting is the art that makes everything else possible. It adds aim to energy, focuses effort and, for some, structures time.
• When we understand and appreciate our bodies, we are able to work with them, not against them.
• Even if you have a genetic predisposition to being overweight, the way you live is what ultimately determines whether you become fat.
• Vary your food, remember that some fruits are high in vitamin C, but they are low in Calcium.
• Each of us have different values for measuring success. Yours should be structured to satisfy you, not others.
• Tell your co-workers in the morning of the day you´re planning to work out, so they are fully aware of your plans and they hold you accountable even if the day gets crazy.  
• Each time you exercise, your body responds by upgrading its capabilities throughout the day and night.
• With some 800 muscles in the body, even the simple act of sitting before the computer screen presents a complex situation.

• To fill up try this sweet, fruity breakfast. In a blender, process 1-cup nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt, 1 1/3 cup frozen strawberries (no added sugar), 1 peeled kiwi, and 1 peeled banana. Pulse until mixture is milkshake consistency. Makes one 2-cup serving; 348 calories and 1.5 fat grams.

• If you’re famished by 4 p.m. and have no alternative but an office vending machine, reach for the nuts or drink water. Sometimes when you feel hungry what you are actually feeling is dehydrated.

• If you haven’t eaten in 3 to 4 hours, your blood glucose levels are probably dropping, so eating a small amount of nutrient-rich food will give your brain and your body a boost.

• Food suppliers typically freeze vegetables just a few hours after harvest, locking in their nutrients. Fresh vegetables, on the other hand, often spend days in the back of a truck before they reach your supermarket.

• Overeating is not the result of exercise. Vigorous exercise won’t stimulate you to overeat. It’s just the opposite. Exercise at any level helps curb your appetite immediately following your workout.

• When you’re exercising, you shouldn’t wait to feel thirsty before you take a drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.

• drink 8 ounces an hour before and another 4 to 8 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes during your workout. Finish with at least 16 ounces after you’re done exercising.

• Listen to an audio book while you walk. It’ll keep you going longer and looking forward to your next walk and the next chapter!

• Think yoga’s too serene to burn calories? Think again. You can burn 250 to 350 calories during an hour-long class (that’s as much as you’d burn from an hour of walking)!

• Drink water! dehydration can slow your metabolism by 3 percent, or about 45 fewer calories burned a day, which in a year could mean weighing 5 pounds more.

• Drink cold unsweetened raspberry tea. It tastes great and keeps your mouth busy and you won’t binge eat while watching your favorite show.
• Change your nighttime schedule. It will take effort, but it will pay off. You need something that will occupy your mind and hands. Maybe find a hobby.
• If you’re eating at night due to emotions, you need to focus on getting in touch with what’s going on and taking care of yourself in a way that really works.

• Find a nonfood method of coping with your stress like exercise and you don’t have to go to a gym, you can simply go for a walk.
• Put a sign on the kitchen and refrigerator doors: Closed after Dinner.
• Brush your teeth right after dinner to remind yourself that you are finished eating for the night. (And brush before you go to bed and needless to say, after every meal)
• Eat without engaging in any other simultaneous activity. No reading, watching TV, or sitting at your computer.

• Eating late at night won’t cause weight gain. It’s how many calories, not when you eat them that counts.
• Fat-free isn’t always your best bet and doesn’t mean low in calories. Research has found that none of the lycopene or alpha- or beta-carotene that fight cancer and heart disease is absorbed from salads with fat-free dressing. Only slightly more is absorbed with reduced-fat dressing. The most is absorbed with full-fat dressing. But remember to use your dressing in moderate amounts and have it on the side.

• Skipping breakfast will leave you tired and by midmorning you will be craving and making bad food choices.

• For the duration of the holidays, wear your snuggest clothes that don’t allow much room for expansion. Wearing sweats is out until January.

• After your company leaves, give away your leftover food to neighbors, doormen, delivery people, or take it to work the next day.
• Walk around the mall three times before you start shopping.
• Make exercise a nonnegotiable priority. You may lose weight while on some diets but long-term weight loss is accomplished and maintained by a balance of diet and exercise.
• Dance to music with your family in your home and be active with your kids. It’s one of the easiest ways to involve the whole family in exercise.
• After going a few days without sweets, you will be able to avoid binging.
• Try 2 weeks without sweets. It’s amazing how your cravings vanish.
• Eat more fruit. If you get enough fruit in your diet chances are your won’t have a raging sweet tooth.
• Eat your sweets, but limit them to about 150 calories per day for your favorite sweet. That amounts to about an ounce of chocolate, half a modest slice of cake, or 1/2 cup of regular ice cream.
• Eat your evening meal in the kitchen or dining room sitting down at your table
