    Comment: These are all really great ideas. Some people think that it is so difficult to eat healthy and/or lose weight but its really the small lifestyle changes that are going to make a difference and create a healthier you. Dieting doesn't work, changing the choices you make does. Bravo!

      Comment: You are so right. In my opinion, people make poor choices knowingly, and just make excuses (It's a special occasion, or it's my favorite restaurant, or I've been so good lately). I've always been a healthy eater, but I've always struggled a little with 5 or 10 extra pounds. So, for an experiment, I spent a week counting calories and writing a diary log of everthing I ate. What did I discover? Despite my best efforts, I was eating more than I needed to eat. Once I learned approximately HOW MUCH I should eat in a day, I had a better overall knowledge that helped me make better decisions. I recommend the calorie counting test to anyone.
      Regarding restaurant eating, most restaurants offer nutritional value online, so I sometimes check it out before heading to the restaurant. When I know that a single dish has more than 1000 calories, there is no danger of my ordering it no matter how good it sounds!

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
