16. Add minimally processed plant-based foods to your diet.
"It's pretty clear, nearly everyone in America isn't eating enough vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains. These foods offer the most nutrition, help us feel satisfied, and displace some of the other less nutritious options. Plus, eating more plants is a positive step for the environment and animals. And when we make behavioral decisions that influence the greater good, we're more likely to feel motivation to continue them long-term." —Ryan Andrews, RD, Coach at Precision Nutrition

17. Make it so that if you want sugary stuff or packaged snacks, you have to really go out of your way to get them.

"The truth is, we'll eat whatever we make convenient. If we make junk food convenient, we'll eat junk food. If we make delicious, natural, minimally processed foods convenient, we'll eat those instead. We don’t have to be disciplined all the time, we only have to be disciplined the one hour per week we go food shopping." —Rob Sulaver, Founder & CEO of Bandana Training and Founding Trainer of Rumble Boxing

18. Instead of setting goals for how you want to look, set goals for how strong, fast, or fit you want to feel.

"It has always been a lot easier for me to stick to a fitness program when I base my goals on strength or conditioning rather than physical goals. I keep a workout journal to track the metrics so that I know exactly what progress I’ve made. This kind of progress tracking keeps me motivated!" —Noelle Nieva, CrossFit coach and licensed massage therapist, Brooklyn Body Shop
19. Eat more fat!
"This may sound counterintuitive but when trying to lose weight, many people make the mistake of cutting fat from their diet, which can leave them feeling super hungry, cranky, and less likely to stick to the plan long-term (which is key!). Adding in healthy fats boosts satiation and keeps you from noshing on simple carbs and sugar, or giving up too soon.
Try to incorporate healthy fat throughout the day. I like to start my day with an avocado-filled green smoothie, throw nuts on my salad for lunch, and sip on a mid-afternoon turmeric latte." —Liz Moody, healthy food blogger and founder of Sprouted Routes
20. Get some coaching.
"Find a qualified, experienced, caring, empathic professional and let them help you find your next steps; habits and practices that'll work within the context of your real, probably complicated, probably overcommitted life.
The truth is, there's no one simple trick that will work for every person, in every culture, in every life situation. So run away, fast, from someone who tells you otherwise. While you're at it, run towards people that can provide guidance, support, and accountability. They'll save you years of false starts, frustration, and disappointment." —John Berardi, PhD, CSCS, co-founder, Precision Nutrition
Thoughts ? Anyone tried the WW coaching ?
