Weight Loss Wisdom: Stop Saying the Word "Diet" & Use This Phrase Instead! Weight Loss

Still holding onto those extra few pounds you gained over the holidays? Start a new healthy eating trend and skip saying the word "diet." Instead, try using the phrase, "I'm on a new nutritional lifestyle approach."

Let's face it: fad diets don't work, so why even buy into them? It's really about maintaining a healthy, nutritious, balanced lifestyle and way of eating for life. For balanced nutrition, think: 

• colorful food
• fiber
• lean protein
• whole grains
• plenty of water
• rest
• reduce white flour and sugar

Remember to include daily stretching, yoga and/or breathing exercises and you'll see results!
