Chocolate to Live For!
In 30 years of conducting research, I've learned what really works to motivate people to make and sustain lasting changes in their ways of eating and living. It comes down to this: joy and pleasure are sustainable; austerity and deprivation are not.
In Woody Allen's 1973 movie "Sleeper," after being preserved in tightly wrapped aluminum foil for 200 years, a 20th century man wakes up to a future in which science has proved deep-fried foods and chocolate to be healthy. The 22nd-century doctors marveled at how previous generations once avoided foods like hot fudge. "Those were thought to be unhealthy," a doctor said. "Precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true."
