Commit to trying and trying to like one new healthy food a week for the next few weeks.

As you add healthier foods into your diet, you will notice that you will develop a greater penchant for unfamiliar or previously unappealing items. Why?

As you incorporate novel and healthier foods into your diet, you will likely feel and look better. You might even find that you’re spontaneously losing weight without even thinking about it–hopefully your new healthy foods will replace some of the bad stuff as you exchange meat and simple carbs with legumes, veggie proteins, grains.

Don’t fall for office food traps, or for that matter, any of the various corporate diet disaster situations.

You know what you need to eat and have the discipline to ignore anything outside the scope of what belongs in your body. Forget about what’s circulating around you in the office, what’s in your company’s kitchen or vending machine, what your colleagues are eating, whose birthday people are celebrating, whether you’re at a breakfast, lunch, or dinner meeting, or attending a conference.
