Healthy Diet Habit Tip of the Day 
or a Recipe of the Day

Dieting is a multi-million dollar business in the United States. Many of us are Yo-Yo Dieters. We are on and off of diets consistently. Millions of us are searching for the latest greatest diet.

We start a new diet on Mondays, and might do fairly well through the week, but it’s over by Friday when we begin our weekend festivities that center on food.


Dieting is a multi-million dollar business in the United States. Diets stress willpower. Lifestyle Solutions stress developing healthy eating habits.

We watched our mothers do this. We believe it is just what we do! Dieting says that if you follow the diet rules and practice willpower, you will be successful.
