What you want is to rev up your metabolism so that you are burning fat and calories, not preserving fat and calories.

I was weaned on chicken-fried steak and hominy grits with goopy gravy all over. I loved meat and wore fur.

Most diets would have you cutting things out from your diet; they are about denial and discipline.

From Kathy Freston

We all thought of chicken as lean, protein-rich food that's good for weight watching, but the truth is chicken might actually be making us fatter!

From Kathy Freston

We've all seen chicken portrayed as the low-fat, heart-healthy alternative to red meat for years, but it no longer adds up. You might want to lean away from eating birds and lean toward more plant-based options of protein like black beans, lentils, tofu, chickpeas and whole grains.

From Kathy Freston

From Kathy Freston

So if you're rooting around for something to eat, grab an apple while you're looking, and usually by the time you're finished eating it, your hunger will have been sidelined; it's crowding out at its best!

From Kathy Freston

From Kathy Freston
