LIVERPOOL, United Kingdom Has Thanksgiving already sent your diet spiraling off a cliff? Youre probably not alone. With holiday weight gain a major issue for many, a new study has found the one snack that may keep your holiday appetite (and your waistline) in check prunes.

Researchers from the University of Liverpool discovered that eating more prunes helped a group of dieters control their appetite better, consume fewer calories, and even lose slightly more weight than people choosing others snacks during a 12-week test.

These studies demonstrate that dried fruit can both produce satiety and be incorporated into the diet during weight management, says Professor Jason C. G. Halford, President of the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO), in a media release.

Researchers examined the impact of eating prunes in two phases. The first compared the reactions of participants who either ate prunes, raisins, or jelly bean-like candies during the experiment. The team found that people eating prunes generally consumed the fewest number of calories during their next meal. The prune snackers also reported feeling less hungry throughout the day, feeling fuller after eating, and feeling as though they couldnt eat as much later on.

In the second part, study authors examined the amount of weight each person lost after completing a 12-week weight loss program. They split the volunteers into two groups, one eating prunes as their daily snack and one who only received guidance on healthy snacking but could choose whatever snack they wanted.

Although researchers say the weight loss difference between the two groups was not significant in terms of total pounds lost, results show the prune group participants lost slightly more weight on average (4.4 pounds vs. 3.4 pounds). People eating prunes also told the team they felt it was easier to lose the weight than those eating other snacks.

This study reveals that nutrient dense prunes can provide an advantage over other snack choices due to their favorable effects on satiety and appetite control, adds Andrea N. Giancoli, MPH, RD Nutrition Advisor for the California Prune Board.

These are the first data to demonstrate both weight loss and no negative side effects when consuming prunes as part of a weight management diet, Halford concludes.

A recent poll found that Americans expect to gain eight pounds during the holiday season. Although prunes have a reputation of being a snack people only choose to relieve constipation, researchers say putting out a bowl at your next holiday party may cure you of festive overeating.

The findings appear in the journal Nutrition Bulletin.

Prunes may be the secret weapon to prevent holiday weight gain - Study Finds

Dear Rachel,

I've adopted a new workout regime which is a 30-minute high intensity kickbox cardio workout about four times a week, and some limited equipment weight training on the fifth day. I was also eating in a calorie deficit. This produced great results when I first started it, as my main goal is to lose weight and get my BMI to a normal range. However, with my wife's pregnancy, my food habits got a little off track and my weight loss plateaued, in fact I've gained a little weight in the last couple of months. I want to enhance my workout routine to get maximum results with weight loss and losing fat. I am not sure if the current regime is effective enough. Can you help me?

Plateaued and Perplexed

Dear Plateaued,

Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy! Don't beat yourself up for falling off track with your nutrition.

It's normal for our weight to fluctuate when our lives change.

The good news is, it's entirely possible to get back on track with your weight loss .

It's fantastic that you're active, but the chances are the "great results" you experienced were mainly due to your calorie deficit, not your workouts.

Getting back to eating in a deficit is the key to losing weight again.

"You identified the problem in what you wrote: your eating got off track and that's why you're not losing weight anymore," personal trainer and fat loss coach Jordan Syatt told Insider.

You clearly know how to do it, and know you can do it, so you just need to start reincorporating those healthy eating habits again.

Remind yourself of any portion control and healthy eating hacks that helped you the first time around.

"From a fat loss perspective, the main issue is your eating, so that's what has to be brought back in check," Syatt said.

Although a calorie deficit is most important, Syatt said you could optimize your workouts to complement your goals by replacing some of your high intensity kickboxing with strength-training.

If you can, he recommends going to a gym or investing in some adjustable dumbbells, bands, or a suspension trainer so you have more equipment.

"To optimize your training, the majority of your workouts should not be kickboxing cardio," Syatt said.

A post shared by Jordan Syatt (@syattfitness)

He suggests replacing two of your kickboxing sessions with resistance training.

Strength training not only helps you hold on to muscle and thus lose fat while in a calorie deficit, but also boosts the metabolism meaning you burn more calories at rest, a 2020 meta-analysis suggests.

Focusing on cardio for weight loss is where many people go wrong, personal trainer Ben Carpenter previously told Insider. It doesn't burn as many calories as people think, and it can ramp up your appetite, he said.

But ultimately, the best exercise for you is what you enjoy, Syatt said. So if that's kickboxing, keep at it.

Wishing you well,

Rachel

According to a recent study, people who normally eat avocados have a lower calorie intake.

That is beneficial for those following diets that are not high in animal fats.

Avocados also have high levels of B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E and potassium.

In the new study, Mexican families who had 14 avocados on average a week over a six months period were analysed.

The results reported huge positive health effects.

READ MORE

After consuming the healthy food, families found avocados would make them feel fuller after eating.

The study, recently published in the journal Nutrients, also showed that people who often have avocados tend to eat a healthier diet.

The families who took part in their study reduced their consumption of processed meat, chicken and eggs.

Surprisingly, people who consume 14 avocados a week also reported decreased intake of calcium, iron, sodium, vitamin D, potassium and magnesium, which researchers explained is associated with eating less.

Dr Lorena Pchego, at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said: Our results show that the nutrition education and high avocado intake intervention group significantly reduced their family total energy intake, as well as carbohydrate, protein, fat (including saturated), calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, potassium and vitamin D.

In secondary energy-adjusted analyses, the nutrition education and high avocado allotment group significantly increased their intake of dietary fibre, monounsaturated fatty acids, potassium, vitamin E and folate.

Testing of a culturally appropriate plant-foot on energy intake, by bicultural and bilingual community health workers, should be extended to other populations."

If youre trying to lose weight, youve likely done an overhaul of your diet. Whether youre doing a keto diet or intermittent fasting or made other changes, what you eat and drink plays a huge role in getting you to your goals. One drink thats become especially popular among people who want to lose weight is juice. But, whats the best way to use juices for weight loss? We've got answers for ya.

The main way I'd use juice with a client is to boost hydration, vitamins, and minerals in their diet, says Seattle-based registered nutritionist Ginger Hultin, RDN, owner of ChampagneNutrition and author of Anti-Inflammatory Diet Meal Prep and How to Eat to Beat Disease Cookbook. Juices can also be a great source of hydration and fiber, which makes it super filling, adds Amber Pankonin, RD, the owner of the food blog the Stirlist.

A juice fast is not be the best way to go, though. If youre only consuming juice, the initial weight loss you might see on the scale is due to water loss and you will quickly gain this back if you go back to eating the way you did before, says Pankonin. Instead, she recommends including juice within your calorie goal or diet and aim to lose one to two pounds per week.

Unfortunately, they don't. The body burns fat by using it for fuel, which often occurs when you work out more or eat the right kinds of foods on a regular, balanced schedule, Hultin says. So, simply drinking juice isn't going to burn fat.

However, she points out that drinking juices does have other perks like improving nutrition and blood pressure or other markers of health.

If youre buying a juice off the shelf, there are a few things you need to look out for. Store-bought juices can often be high in sugar and stripped of valuable nutrients like fiber and other phytochemicals, says Pankonin. Juices made at home are often higher in fiber and you can control the amount of any added sugars or alternative sweeteners that you use, she adds.

If you don't have time to make them yourself, Hutlin recommends looking for juices that are vegetable-basedthink green juices, tomato, and other veggie juices. These will generally be lower in calories, but still contain a lot of nutrients and hydration, she says.

Here are some nutritious juices, selected by the experts above, that can help with satiety and are hydrating and delicious on the go.

This juice is full of water, veggies, and low-glycemic fruits like grapefruit, says Hultin. I love that it has avocado in it because that's a heart-healthy fat source that will be very satiating, keeping you full much longer than a typical juice would.

Pomegranates and oranges are high in fiber, making this juice nutritious and filling, says Pankonin.

Blackberries are the star of this juice, which are packed with vitamin C and anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that give them their gorgeous purple color. This yummy juice also gets a fiber boost thanks to the almond or soy milk, mixed greens, banana, and pineapple.

This juice contains radishes and lemon to help boost nutrients without relying on sweeter fruit-based ingredients, says Hultin. It is palatable and delicious because of the grapefruit and apple, but generally this is a low-glycemic, hydrating, and refreshing juice to include in a balanced diet, she adds.

Ginger is good for digestive health and the apple adds the right amount of sweetness, says Pankonin.

This sweet, fruity juice combines beets, strawberries, and raspberries with a bit of ice and water for a cold, fiber-packed juice that will help you stay hydrated.

Definitely leave out the alcohol and enjoy this savory juice drink as a mocktail rather than a cocktail, says Hultin. Alcohol can impede weight loss and without it in this Bloody Mary, you have a simple, vitamin-rich, savory juice made of tomatoes and other veggies, she adds. This juice is an easy way to drink your vegetables to maximize intake while reducing carbohydrates and sugar.

With just three ingredients, this juice is the easiest one to make and possibly the most refreshing thanks to the lime juice and watermelon, plus fiber from each fruit.

Spinach and apples are high in fiber, which can be both nutritious and super filling, says Pankonin.

Erin Kunkel for Ten Speed Press

When you're on a weight loss journey, it's important to get creative with maximizing fruits and veggies because they're filling, high in fiber, and can even help reduce inflammation in the body, says Hultin. She loves this juice because it's a very creative way to maximize vitamin C-rich bell peppers and cruciferous green leafy veggie arugula (which belong to the cabbage family) in a non-green juice way.

This green juice has six ingredients that are all filled with fiber and flavor to help keep you full: celery, spinach, cucumber, green apple, mint leaves, and a tiny bit of fresh ginger.

These vegetables contain a lot of fluid and fiber, which can be both hydrating and keep you satiated, says Pankonin.

Boosting fiber intake is tied in many studies to positive outcomes with long-term weight management, so adding foods like chia seeds is a great way to make sure you're getting your anti-inflammatory omega 3s, filling fiber, and satiating protein all in a delicious, low-sugar juice, says Hultin. The blueberries and fresh lime brighten up this antioxidant-rich juice.

Besides the strawberries and cucumber, this juice gets an extra punch of fiber thanks to carrots and apples.

Kiwi is low in calories and when combined with mint and lemon can be refreshing and filling, says Pankonin.

15 Best Juices For Weight Loss Plus Recipes, According to RDs - Women's Health

The way Oz portrayed it, he was using flowery language to express his enthusiasm for promising new supplements, and then he himself was victimized by unscrupulous manufacturers: Companies that used his name, likeness and statements to sell name-brand versions of the generic supplements that he endorsed.

The members showed only limited sympathy for his complaints, pointing out that he was the one pumping those substances up in the first place. We all have the experience as elected officials of [having] any word that can be taken out of context, said Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) with a wry smile. But at the same time, in addition to being a celebrity, you're a doctor, and I believe that doctors have this duty to give [your audience] the best evidence.

Midway through the hearing, after lengthy lines of questioning from McCaskill and Klobuchar, Oz came under cross-examination by Sen. Dean Heller, a Republican from Nevada. (Heller, who lost his Senate seat in 2018, is now running for governor of Nevada.) Heller cut straight to the point, asking Oz whether or not he believed in the existence of a miracle pill that causes consumers to lose weight.

Theres not a pill that's going to help you, long-term, lose weight, live the best life without diet and exercise, Oz responded.

Do you believe theres a magic weight-loss cure out there? said Heller.

Oz stammered. If youre selling something because its magical, no, he said. If youre arguing that its going to be magic because if you stop eating carbohydrates youre going to use a lot of weight, thats a truthful statement.

I asked Matthew Eisenberg, an expert on health economics and policy, at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, to review Ozs testimony. He said that Oz's rhetorical sleights-of-hand disclaiming "magical" while defending "it's going to be magic" are a common feature of deceptive advertising in the weight-loss industry. And despite Oz's careful parsing of claims like that, several of his hearing statements ran afoul of both scientific and regulatory consensus, said Eisenberg. In his written testimony, says Eisenberg, Oz clearly violated the Federal Trade Commissions guidance to dietary supplement companies when he referred to a pills ability to melt fat.

The scientific consensus is that pills cannot do that, and the regulatory consensus is [the same], said Eisenberg. The FTC has said no product can say in their advertisement that a product burns or melts fat.

Neither the FTCs recommendations nor Congress scorn has done much to deter Oz, whose lucrative empire has thrived despite being repeatedly condemned in mainstream medical circles for making unsupported claims about diet and weight-loss products. In 2013, a team of researchers at Georgetown University analyzed the various health recommendations made on Ozs show, finding that about 78 percent of those recommendations did not align with evidence-based medical guidelines, society recommendations, or authority statements. In 2018, without admitting liability, Oz agreed to pay a $5.25 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging that he misrepresented the efficacy of two weight-loss pills, which he had referred to on his show as a revolutionary fat buster and magic weight-loss cure.

Ozs critics characterize him as a charlatan and early in the hearing, McCaskill came just short of doing exactly that. When Oz defended his decision to peddle unproven weight-loss drugs by noting that he had also promoted the healing power of prayer, McCaskill shot back, But you dont have to buy prayer prayer is free.

Yes, prayer is free, said Oz. Thats a very good point.

Chalking Ozs endorsements of weight-loss pills up to simple greed, though, misses something critical about his enterprise. During the question-and-answer portion of the hearing, Oz repeatedly noted that he had never sold any specific dietary supplements through his show, nor has he profited directly from the sale of the supplements that he endorsed. Although there is little doubt that Oz has profited handsomely over the years from his audiences credulity his show has been on-air for 13 seasons and he has written eight New York Times bestsellers he didnt make money from selling diet pills. Asked by Klobuchar why he chose not to sell products himself, Oz said, A doctor shouldnt sell products. You wouldnt trust me if you came to me for advice and I said Oh, youd got a stubbed toe here, take my version of a solving cream.

But the efficacy of the pills that he endorsed may not really matter to the core of his enterprise. When pressed by McCaskill about his support for miracle weight-loss pills, Oz conceded, I recognize that oftentimes, [my claims] dont have the scientific muster to present as fact. My job, I feel, on the show is to be a cheerleader for the audience, and when they dont think they have hope, or when they dont think they can make it happen, I look everywhere for any evidence that might be supportive to them.

Despite the subcommittees focus on diet supplements, the hearing got at something deeper about what Ozs real product is: not weight-loss pills at all, but rather the promise of an alternative reality.

Seven years after the Senate put Ozs brand of misinformation on trial, the court of public opinion has returned a not guilty verdict. Far from posing a challenge to Ozs political credibility, the deluge of pseudoscience and misinformation that emerged from the pandemic has proved that Americans are more eager than ever to buy what he is selling. Huge swaths of the country are turning away from a medically effective vaccine and embracing random treatments touted by the politicians they like. Oz himself offers a diagnosis of the countrys political ills that is primarily metaphysical rather than material. Im running for the Senate to empower you to control your destiny, to reinvigorate our great nation, and to reignite the divine spark that we should always be seeing in each other, wrote Oz in the Washington Examiner.

Oz hasnt yet offered a policy prescription for relighting the nations divine spark.

Whether you track your steps with a wearable fitness tracker or through your phone, knowing how much you've walked in a day can be an extremely useful tool for weight loss. Many of us are sitting for a majority of the day, which can ultimately have a negative impact on our body and brain. However, walking and tracking your steps every day can reduce health risks - like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stiff joints. Consistent walking may even help you lose weight. But how much do you actually need to walk to reap the benefits of moving around?

The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against a sedentary, inactive lifestyle and recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes a week of high-intensity activity. In other words, you ideally should be active for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. For additional health benefits, the CDC recommends doubling that goal and fitting in up to 300 minutes a week of moderate-intensity or 150 minutes of high-intensity physical activity.

POPSUGAR spoke with Laura Arndt, an NSCA-certified personal trainer and the CEO of Matriarc, a health and wellness app for moms, to help us break down the CDC's recommendations into steps. Arndt said that a 30-minute brisk walk can get most of her clients "between 3,000 and 5,000 steps, depending on their speed and their gait. However, we shouldn't be sitting the remainder of the day, so the goal is to achieve another 5,000 steps through everyday activity." You might take short walks on an indoor treadmill or take an afternoon walk around the block to add in more steps throughout your day.

Arndt recommends that her clients aim for 10,000 total steps a day but notes that isn't a realistic goal for everyone. "The best thing to do is have someone wear a fitness tracker for a week, see what their average step counts are over the course of the week, and have them aim to increase their step counts by 10 percent," Arndt said. "This gives them a realistic goal, but it also forces them to step up their daily activity."

Story continues

If you're specifically looking to lose weight, the intensity of your physical activity plays a significant role as well. "How briskly you walk plays a large role in how many calories you actually burn when walking. Walking a very slow 10,000 steps may not be adequate to actually result in weight loss," Gregg Kai Nishi, MD, bariatric surgeon at the Khalili Center and the director of the Institute For Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery at K and B Surgical Center, told POPSUGAR. "Conversely, walking very briskly, even if less than 10,000 steps, may be much more beneficial in terms of weight loss."

But even walking a brisk 10,000 steps per day may not be enough to burn off pounds on its own. "In addition to looking at your step counts, strength training has scientific benefits for increasing your metabolism, burning calories, and therefore helping with weight loss," Arndt said. "The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn during rest and during activity." She encourages her clients to start or continue a strength-training routine a minimum of two days a week - including free weights or activities like yoga or a bootcamp-style class.

On average, a person can burn 100 calories walking one mile. Since walking 10,000 steps is similar to walking five miles, that means someone can burn around 500 calories from completing a full 10,000 steps a day. Increasing your activity alone won't result in weight loss if you aren't also creating a calorie deficit. So it's important to take a look at your eating habits throughout the day. Be sure to eat a nutrient-dense daily diet that consists of a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats. While walking 6,000 to 10,000 or more steps a day can promote several health benefits, keeping track of what you're eating and how many calories you're consuming will go a long way toward helping you achieve your weight-loss goals.

The Family Chantel star Winter Everett showed off her weight loss journey on the recent episode, leaving fans in total and utter shock.

A TLC reality show, the up-and-down family dynamic of 90 Day Fiance favorites Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno are captured on camera.

She showed off her post-break up body transformation on the November 29th episode, following the news that she had split from Jah.

We looked at before and after pictures of Winters dramatic weight loss, which have led to many viewers saying how proud they are.

Winter has lost over 50 pounds. She first announced how much weight she has lost in 2020, and has continued to decrease the lbs ever since.

The 26-year-old began to diet and regularly go to the gym, which appear to have had a dramatically beneficial impact on her confidence.

For The Family Chantel star, its more about how she feels rather than the amount of pounds lost, as it isnt all about the number on the scale.

Winter has also began to wear more revealing clothes, whereas she used to cover her body parts up far more in the past.

She also adopted a new religion in Nazarene faith because of her now ex-fianc, Jah, which follows a biblical diet.

#TheFamilyChantel @Winter good for u girlie! 1st Congratulations on weight loss & 2nd for standing up to Chantel, telling her if u saw a path towards a positive relationship, u were going for it!

Winter recently posted a photo showing off her thinner waist, and posted a smaller image in the bottom right hand corner to highlight her weight loss.

She appears to have zero photos on her Instagram from before losing weight, which highlights how much more confident she feels now.

The TLC stars face is significantly more defined now, as well as her arms, legs, and pretty much her entire body.

It comes after her weight loss journey began a couple of years ago, which Winter spoken openly about in front of cameras.

Many have commented on her glow up, revealing how amazing she looks since dropping the pounds and wearing figure-hugging clothes.

Looking at Twitter, it is clear to see that Winter is absolutely transforming herself in viewers eyes, and not just when it comes to her weight.

Many have noticed that she seems happier in general, and are over the moon for her. However, some are still focused on her looks.

One wrote: WinterbooI feel like she is a bit insecure because of her weight and I also feel Chantel has something to do with that.

Others seem to think she broke up with Jah as a direct result of losing weight, as some viewers think she deserves better.

A fan said: The Family Chantel- Winter is settling for JAH cause she thinks hes the only bum for her and clearly suffers from low self-esteem.

After her weight loss and achieves her goal, shell probably end up with someone better.

An efficient metabolism is essential for achieving healthy weight loss with ease, naturally increasing the calories you burn throughout the day and allowing you to maintain the necessary deficit to see results more quickly. The speed of your metabolism is determined by a variety of factors from your physical activity to the foods you regularly eat within your diet, and making small changes to your habits can have a significant impact on your metabolism for the better. As you work towards increased fat burn and a faster metabolism for weight loss, theres one habit that doctors recommend integrating into your morning routine to streamline results.

A morning boost of caffeine is valuable not only in the energy it provides your day, but depending on the source it can also help to speed up your metabolism as you work towards weight loss. While coffee has a number of benefits of its own, starting off your morning with a cup of green tea is one of the best tricks to include in your arsenal for speeding up your metabolism. Michele Canon, XPRO, NASM CPT and Nutritionist for STRIDE GO explains, Green tea contains caffeine and a potent antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This catechin works by triggering enzymes to release stored fat from cells to be used as energy. The effect of EGCG in combination with caffeine further stimulates fat burning.

The efficacy of your metabolism is key in determining how quickly your body burns through fat, leading to a larger calorie deficit without having to deprive yourself of any foods. A faster, more efficient metabolism is important because it means your body is able to burn more calories at rest. When your body is metabolically healthy, it makes it easier to sustain an ideal weight over a lifetime, notes Canon. Therefore, drinking a cup of green tea before breakfast can help to set your body into fat burning overdrive, providing you with more energy in the morning to sustain yourself throughout the day, and allowing food to work more effectively as fuel.

Once youve integrated green tea into your morning routine, its important to remember that results dont come overnight and youll still need to maintain an otherwise healthy approach to weight loss in order to see any changes in your body. When you combine green tea with a consistent workout routine and healthy diet, you can expect to see a difference in your weight and metabolic rate within 4-6 weeks, says Canon. This may seem slow, but results which are achieved in a healthy and often less timely manner are typically easier to sustain over a long period of time, avoiding yo-yo dieting and ultimately preserving your body.

Weight loss may seem like an uphill battle, but focusing on making small changes that will improve your metabolism and boost fat burn without dramatically overhauling your life will be the best way to see significant changes that you can maintain. Adding green tea to your morning routine is a great, simple trick for naturally increasing the energy your body expends throughout the morning, hiking up calorie burn at rest and making weight loss that much easier. Of course, swapping a highly sugary coffee beverage with green tea in the morning will naturally take you one step closer to your goals as sugar is a primary culprit for unexpected weight gain and energy lulls, so being cognizant of this when preparing your green tea will also be helpful in reaching your goals with ease.

Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumours and neoplasms. One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs. Your eating habits can hold a lot of clues relating to your risk to the disease.

Cancer is known to affect a persons eating habits due to the change of metabolism and the way the body turns food into energy.

Stomach, pancreatic, colon, and ovarian cancers also can put pressure on your stomach and make you feel too full to eat.

Appetite loss or poor appetite are common early warning signs of cancer.

A person means may eat less than usual, not feel hungry at all, or feel full after eating only a small amount.

Ongoing appetite loss may lead to serious complications including weight loss, not getting the nutrients that the body needs, and fatigue and weakness from muscle loss, which is called cachexia.

If possible, the first step in treating appetite loss is to address the cause, said Cancer.Net.

Therefore, your cancer treatment is a key part of improving your loss of appetite.

Treatment for conditions such as nausea, pain, mouth sores, dry mouth, pain, or depression may help improve appetite.

Other major early warning symptoms of cancer not to ignore include:

Inspiration to Lose Weight: I didnt have any target this time to lose weight, thats how it kept me going for so long. I just took 1 day at a time rather than looking for the far future.

Weight Loss And Diet:

Pre-workout meal:I generally started doing only walking and initially I could do only 4-5 km with much difficulty daily but I still did it daily and now I can do 15 km walking/running in one go. So, I have black coffee or hot water before the workout.

Post-workout meal: I have some almonds and fruits after a workout

Weight Loss Mantra: No, not at all. consistency is the only thing to lose weight. Dont get influenced by others, your body is your own and you can just start taking small steps and changes in your lifestyle right now rather than saying lets do it from tomorrow.
