Maintaining a Lifestyle

"Sharing a meal with friends causes people to eat 33 percent more than they would on their own". That doesn't mean you should eat your meals in solitude, simply to be aware of the extra food you're eating without thinking as you talk.

If you're around my height and bone structure (you can judge yours by the circumference of your wrist), before you think you'd starve to death on a menu like mine, consider what humans really do need to live and be healthy. I am not too thin and certainly healthier than most people I know so you could do worse than take a few tips from these lists! Diets can be effective to take weight off, but what then? It's only a change of lifestyle that will have long term effects. The whole problem of obesity is simply the fact that we eat too much, and too much bad food that is the cause of so many physical problems.
