(HealthDay News) — Poor eating habits may be contributing to failed efforts to lose weight. Breaking these habits may help you succeed in getting healthier.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests:
- Start every day with a balanced, nutritious breakfast. Be sure to include lean protein, fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
