The Perfect Diet? Is there such a thing?

Episode Overview:

Are you in search of the perfect diet?  But confused over which one is right for you?  There are countless people who have tried crash diets or lost weight by drastically restricting their food intake.  But many of the trendy diets that promise quick and easy weight loss really doesn’t work because they are not realistic.  Sure, you can have success.  But plenty of people who lost that weight are likely to regain it, often within six months.  Because they return to their old eating habits.  When it comes down to it, those types of diets are not sustainable for the long haul. According to the World Health Organization, about 1.6 billion people in the world are overweight or obese.  We have to change our thinking.  We need to focus on eating healthy and making it a lifestyle change, as nutritional foods are very beneficial for the body and mind. So today, let’s look at food not as the problem, but as the solution.  To inspire you, you’re going to meet three successful people who’ve lost weight and kept it off.  I’ll discuss the emotional factors that influence some of our food choices and we’ll also be cooking in the kitchen!
