People try to change too much at once and it becomes overwhelming, and they end up falling off the program. So gradually changing bad habits makes much more of a difference than trying to change them all at once.

The idea behind diet confusion is, you have to keep your body off-kilter. So by changing the type of foods that you eat, the frequency of the foods that you eat, you can keep your metabolism revved up.

I think happiness is a combination of pleasure, engagement and meaningfulness.

People have to realize that dieting is not a sprint, it's a marathon. If you celebrate the small victories, you will eventually win the war.
