There is no DIE in DIET

So, your English teacher may disagree but in my Webster's dictionary, there is no die in diet.  Many people think of "diets" with the same mentality they have towards Christmas shopping: "ughhh, just do it, it's only for a little while.  It's going to be painful but I JUST have to make it past the new year."

Alright, relax.  Do what I do before said shopping and take a deep breath.  A diet has many negative connotations because frankly, most suck and don't work.  There is this idea of pain, hunger, and deprivation when "diet" is said. 

Here is some fantastic news: that doesn't have to be the case!
The catch: throw out those Lean Cuisines, chuck the diet soda, and stop buying those pretty packaged "health bars" that have more sugar than a snickers.
See the hunger and cravings associated with this topic can largely be avoided if you eat the right foods.  By eating small meals throughout the day, comprised of complex carbs, lean proteins, and healthy fats, you can feel FULL and even HAPPY on a diet (say whaaaat).

Another catch: it's not a diet.  It's a lifestyle.  Consistently make these healthy food choices and after time, the effects are approximately 3.2 billion times better than any alternative.  The great part is, once it's a lifestyle, it becomes second nature to seek and crave these foods.  I'm no genius but I think that's what we call a win-win.

And I promise: while there is no die in diet, there sure is a whole lotta LIFE in lifestyle;)
