Healthy Eating: Start with Simple, Small Steps

In an age where childhood obesity is dramatically increasing, the popularity of fad diets is increasing as well. But most experts agree that diets don't work.
"There must be a lifestyle change... Changing doesn't have to be a difficult task. Some say it takes 6 weeks of doing something continuously for it to become a habit. So just replace one bad habit at a time with a good habit."
Most experts also agree that if eating and exercise habits are changed, weight loss will usually take care of itself. Source: Associated Content
