Look beyond the bread aisle next time we're stocking up on sandwich supplies. Big, crunchy pieces of lettuce used in place of slices of bread are perfect for packing extra produce into our day without feeling like us to live at the salad bar. And this fresh twist on our usual sandwich base is perfect for the hot summer months. Once we try that, Cormier suggests looking for even more inventive way to wrap up our favorite fillings in a vitamin-packed leafy green.

That sameness of scent is actually a tactic that can inspire us to consume more calories. A study in the journal Flavour found that the less distinctive the scent of a particular food, the more we'll eat of it. Adding herbs and sodium-free spice blends is an easy way to take advantage of the sensory illusion that we're indulging in something rich—without adding any fat or calories to our plate. Furthermore, a recent behavioral study that taught adults to spruce up meals with herbs instead of salt led to a decrease in sodium consumption by nearly 1000 mg a day.

Once you've gotten into the swing of a healthier routine, it's easy to center our goals around numbers on the scale. Don't. Instead, make them action-based. We are creatures that desire instant gratification. We hear 'We want to lose 20 pounds,' all the time. This is not a goal that easily sets us up for success. Simply put, we setting our-self up for bucket o'cheese fries-infused failure. going for a 30 minute power walk, or going to our favorite Zumba class after work on Fridays. As soon as we finish that Zumba class, we feel accomplished and fulfilled.

For every 10 grams of carbohydrate listed on the label, look for at least one gram of fiber. That's the ratio of carbohydrate to fiber in a genuine, unprocessed whole grain. The recommendation comes from a study published in the journal Public Health Nutrition that evaluated hundreds of grain products; foods that met the 10:1 ratio had have less sugar, sodium, and trans fats than those that didn't.

Despite what some people may believe, healthy eating doesn't require complex recipes — or any recipes at all. We make it a point to cook a lot of lean proteins, veggies and a high quality grains like quinoa so when my day slips away, We always have healthy pre-cooked foods on hand to throw together to make a meal, When we are working with a client who is particularly busy, We always suggest keeping Protein Bowl ingredients on hand. We might recommend salmon and chicken as healthy lean proteins, and then I'll instruct them to pair their meat of choice with leafy greens, a hard-boiled egg, sliced fruit, and nuts or seeds. If everything is prepped ahead of time, all they have to do it throw the stuff into a bowl before they eat. It's so simple and quick.

Improving our eating habits is a process of being practical, not perfect, certified personal trainer and Program Director at Jump Start Retreats in the Catskills. There are some specific foods that, realistically know us as we will not live without. So, work with that. Keep that food to once a week or once a month instead of failing at never.

When nourishing our body with foods, listen to what it needs, says yoga instructor, who is leading an upcoming CorePower Yoga wellness retreat at Twin Farms in Barnard, Vermont. Discard dogma and food rules, and eat for fuel and energy, whatever that may be for that day. As much as we can, she adds, choose whole, unprocessed foods, but also allow for an occasional splurge or two to help maintain a healthy mindset. Our bodies are intelligent and always asking for what they need to function optimally, whether it's vegetables or even a bit of sugar there's reason behind the craving.

If our go-to green for salads is spinach or romaine, that's great—they're both packed with tons of nutrients. But a varied diet is a healthy diet, and there are tons of other greens out there that are equally delicious. If we like lighter leafy vegetables, try swapping our spinach for some arugula, leaf lettuce, watercress or parsley, or combine a few different greens to get an incredible mixture of vital nutrients that will power we through the rest of our day.

Powell has another awesome tip Participants find it challenging to stay on track with their diet when they're eating out—especially when they're with friends who don't share their newly adopted healthy lifestyle. There are few different ways Powell helps his clients stay on track when facing this obstacle. For starters, he suggests drinking a big glass of water before the meal starts. This tames hunger, making it easier to order a smart entree. Steer clear of anything fried, sautéed, crusted, or breaded, and order all dressing and sauces on the side. When we order, let the waiter know you would like a to-go box when the food arrives. Cut our meal in half immediately and place half in the box to go. Out of sight, out of mind—and don't forget, similar rules apply to take out food, too.

Those rock hard abs won't be built in a day—they'll be built in staggered days. You can also apply the same principle when it comes to adopting a healthier exercise routine. At the end of the first seven days, We will have improved our eating habits over half of the days of the week and will feel ready to launch into week two. The high to get from keeping it going for several weeks—not to mention the better body image—will eventually help us to crowd out the bad eating patterns with even more good ones.

A fermented Chinese tea with an earthy flavor, Pu-erh can literally shrink the size of our fat cells. To discover the brew's fat-crusading powers, Chinese researchers divided rats into five groups and fed them varying diets over a two month period. In addition to a control group, there was a group given a high-fat diet with no tea supplementation and three additional groups that were fed a high-fat diet with varying doses of pu-erh tea extract.

Set a Carb Curfew, Though starchy and sugary carbs—like quinoa, potatoes and fruit—aren't totally off limits on the show, participants never consume them after dark. As they do, so should you. For dinner, contestants always have a high-protein, high-fat meal with plenty of fibrous veggies. If they have a post-dinner snack, they stick to protein-rich, high-fat foods like almonds or 2% milk-fat string cheese, he explains. This is because, he adds, axing carbs at night flips the fat burning switch by increasing the amount of fat burning hormones released while we're asleep.
