You’re not the only one. There are literally hundreds of diets. I’m a fan of healthy living and healthy eating, and it’s a lot easier than you think. My site site can show you how to work out the best food and lifestyle plan to suit you as an individual.
There are really only a few basic habits to learn if you want to stay really healthy: eating fresh healthy food daily, exercising, avoiding smoking, and keeping that body fat down.

It appears a ridiculously tiny number, just 2.7 percent, of Americans actually manage all four habits, according to a study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. (Loprinzi 2016)
