Check their Fridge

Drop the Juice Cleanse

By this time of year, we’re all neck-deep in our New Years Resolutions. For many of us, one of those resolutions is to lose LB’s. If weight loss (or a healtier you) is one of your goals to kick off 2019, steer clear of the juice cleanse fad.

Every year, I see fridges filling up with juice cleanse programs that run up to $12 a bottle and $100 per day. And here’s the facts: they’re freakin’ useless.

The 2 main reasons to do a juice cleanse are to lose weight and to detox. Lets touch on both…

Weight Loss

Your juicer is actually removing one of the healthiest parts of your fruits and veggies: the fiber. Fiber is what keeps you feeling full. Instead, all you’re getting is the sugar, leaving you with a constant case of the munchies.

The only reason you might lose weight from the cleanse is because you’re taking in less calories than you normally do and what you’re losing is muscle. The second the ‘cleanse’ is over, the weight goes back on, more likely as fat than the muscle you lost.

And lets face it: after starving yourself for 3+ days, you’ll binge on the foods you love, which are probably not too healthy, and a shitload of them. So you come out worse in the long run.

If too many processed carbs are a problem in your diet, the only long-term solution is cutting down moving forward, not cutting them out entirely for just a few days and then returning to the same level.

Detox

You don’t need cayenne pepper and lemon juice to cleanse your body. (The three witches in Macbeth came up with better bullshit than that) We already have the best detoxers on the planet: our liver and kidneys. We’re built to be a state of the art detox machine.

Unless 1 of those 2 organs are damaged, we need zero help getting rid of toxins. The positive sensations we feel when undergoing a cleanse are the same sensations we feel when fasting, or more accurately put, starving.

There is absolutely zero scientific evidence that these cleanses detox and I haven’t found a medical professional pushing a cleanse who isn’t making money in the process.

When you look at the numbers, these cleanses are costing us a fortune.

Fridge Analysis

Hey Stonehill,

Here's my fridge, what do you think?? Would love some insight (and improvement) for the Holidays.

Best,

-Hannah

Stonehill Analysis

Hey Hannah,

You’re one interesting Chica. You have a diverse fridge and like most of us, you have The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...

The Good

I fancy a girl who can enjoy a beer. That you have it on standby is a plus, and I find that female beer drinkers most often have a down to earth quality, something most guys like to see on the dating front. We all can be high-maintenance when it comes to certain things, but it’s important to have a counter balance as well.

You also dig on sushi. I like this for a couple of reasons...

1. Sushi is a great date meal b/c you share it while pouring each other saki to avoid the '7 years of bad sex' curse. I’m a fan of dates in which you share food...there’s a bonding experience and a sense of intimacy building.

2. Sushi is a healthy meal and it’s important for single chicks (and dudes) to bring their A game on the figure front. If you can’t take care of yourself now, you probably never will.

Sticking to looks, you have a Costo-sized stash of Yoplait light and 2 sexy tomatoes. Perfect shade of red, firm, nice size, whatever you have in store for them, I envy the end result.

Per the KC Masterpiece, I assume you eat meat. And as I’d like to give you the benefit of the doubt, I’ll assume that varsity portion of Potato Salad is for the next BBQ you attend. If it’s all for you, it’s the perfect segue into...

The Bad

Orange juice is supposed to be orange. I mean, what color is that? And I don’t know what that animal logo is on the container, but I can’t imagine he knows squat about OJ.

Orange juice is one of those products that should never be generic. Plus, dudes love OJ. It’s a smart move to have a nice tasty (orange colored) glass waiting for him.

Now, how much soda does one girl need? Are you applying to be a member of the ‘dying to be diabetic club’? Coke, Sprite and Mountain Dew I get, but do you really need all three? Is the closest 7-11 really that far in case you get the urge?

Lastly, you have Velveeta. I have it under 'The Bad’, but if that block of article goodness is for late night fondue, I’d gladly bump it back to 'The Good' category.

The Ugly

There's shit growing on your fridge bottom. This is where you keep your sustenance. The stuff going in your body. And it should live in a clean environment. Get some Lysol and get wiping.

Now, as I touch on above, you have some products that can go either way. Use them to your dating advantage.

For example, if you have a guy stay over, make those fresh Crescent rolls come morning. That, combined with fresh brewed coffee (which I assume the Half and Half is for) is a great way to utilize your fridge to impress that lucky feller :)

Fridge Dating Scorecard (on scale of 1 to 10)

Shag on first date: 7.5 You drink beer, eat meat and have vodka on standby in the freezer. That’s a girl who’s ready if the opportunity presents itself. (And I dig it ;)

Marry: 6.5 You have a down-to-earth quality that I like to see in a potential partner. You’re clearly capable of hanging with the boys, and you have shareable foods that can be great for dating.

I do want to see you clean your fridge, though. The days of the female homemaker are over, but whether it’s a guy or girl, hygiene and cleanliness are important, especially for a living situation.

Plus, you gotta cut down on that soda. No matter how cute you are now, those calories will catch up with you in the long run.

Fridge Analysis

Stonehill,

This is the fridge for one of my male friends. Sorry those are really bad photos as it is so weird to sneak a fridge photo at a friend’s house. I would really appreciate if you can check the fridge and give some analysis to me.

Thank you so much.

-Polly

Stonehill Analysis

Polly, if this guy was any more anal, he’d be a proctologist.

The only fridges I see this well organized are for fridge advertisements. I have to imagine your friend's job deals with numbers, computers or science, a plus that he makes a nice living. The downside is he's worse than Sally Alright and her Days of the Week underpants.

This guy seems to not only subscribe to a meal delivery program, but has also invented a Fridge Dewey Decimal System.

Overall, like most of us, I see positives and negatives here...

On the negative, this guy’s more uptight than Cameron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Yes, his ass is tight enough to make a diamond, and he seems to be the controlling type. If he has to be in this control of his fridge, he probably is with his relationships as well.

I’ve seen guys like this freak out over chicks leaving a pube in the shower. So if you secretly fancy this guy, you better get trimming.

I can’t see what’s in the containers, but the containers alone tell a big story: he believes in being prepared and with his meals layed out for the week, I hope he has a cheat day, or he has no room for adventure. That would make one boring life together.

For his (and his girl’s) sake, I also hope he has booze elsewhere, as I’d like to see a smidgeon of hope that this dude could loosen up a bit.

I’m also concerned that he doesn’t get out much. It looks like he’s got a whole week’s worth of meals, which means most of his time is spent home and not out, having fun, socializing, even discovering new restaurants.

On the positive side of town, this guy has his shit together, which is better than many dudes out there.

Per his fridge model and products, he’s clearly making dinero, which can’t buy happiness, but neither can living in your boyfriend’s car either.

He eats well, so by osmosis, you will too, and your tush will thank you for it. Plus, he probably looks naked, another perk. (Girls befriend the fat guy, they don’t shag him) So if you guys decide to visit Saucy Town together, it should be fun.

Now, we all need some structure in our lives. If you do, you hit the jackpot here. If you don’t, this is one relationship that will stay on the friendship tip.

Fridge Dating Scorecard On a scale of 1 to 10)

Shag on first date: 5 He lives in a nice pad, always a turn on. He’s also got plenty of snacks, another perk, along with a good build, equally important if you want to make some fun mistakes together. But I don’t see booze and a guy this anal (probably) doesn’t have much game.

Marry: 5 I see another coin flip here. I see plusses, along with red flags. Money, healthy, organized, all great. Anal, controlling, boring, all deal breakers. As we’re only getting a glimps, only you can make the final call.

Dating Ammo

It's Fall, my favorite time of year. And time for some Fall-themed Dating Ammo.

As most of our dating revolves around eating and drinking, I keep a heads up for products that would make great ammo for your next date.

With the cooler weather, there are endless date activities for you to choose from. Here's the perfect beer to bring along...

Sierra Nevada’s Oktoberfest

It's a general rule that as the days get cooler, the seasonable beers get darker. And for good reason. They not only keep you warm with higher alchohol content, but they also hold up better to Fall's heartier dishes.

Dating though is a team sport and you're not only catering to your palette, but also your date's. Thus, I'd go with a Fall lager like Sierra Nevada’s Oktoberfest, as it's a lighter, more drinkable beer and more likely to be enjoyed by both of you.

Each fall, Sierra Nevada partners with a different German brewer, and this year, it's Brauhaus Miltenberger. What you get is a festival beer that's deep golden in color with rich malt flavor and balanced by traditional freshly picked German whole-cone hops.

Whether for a picnic with a view, a tailgate or for just enjoying sweater-weather outside your pad, it's a great beer to serve your date, loosen up and get to know each other better.

Dating Advice for the real world

Football is back. (Thank God) And it's not only time to watch our favorite teams in action, but also a great opportunity to meet fellow singles.

In most major cities, you can find a bar dedicated to the fan base of your team. (I listed the best bars in LA to watch all 32 NFL teams below) Which is a double-bonus: you're in a safe zone to curse out the refs for any bad calls, AND you have something in common with your fellow bar patrons.

Does this guarantee a love connectoin? Of course not. But it's a good start. And worse case, now you have a new friend to watch football with (along with future intros to their single friends).

We all love a lazy Sunday. And with high-def, watching the game at home is more awesome than ever. But it's hard for me to think of any married friend I have who didn't put the effort in to meet new people when they were single.

If you want to meet that special someone, or even that temporary friend-with-benefits, you have to put the effort in, too. So, this Sunday, get off your tush, head to your team's bar and put yourself out there.

I'm not your mother ordering you to Sunday School for four hours. I'm your friend ordering you to hit a great sports bar, watch your team, bond with fellow fans, drink beer (or wine if that tickles your fancy), down delish bar food and have a great time.

If you're lucky, you'll meet your next date in the process. If you're really lucky, your team wins, too.

Now, as prommised, here's the best Bars in LA to watch your favorite NFL team (care of MenTor App). If you live in a different city, it's easy to find the bar with your team, just Google it.

Fridge Analysis

Stonehill,

I need a fridge checkup here. (Yes, it’s mine) And don’t be gentle.

-Tara

Stonehill Analysis

Hey Tara, no gentleness required, your fridge tells me you’re a chick I’d love to set up my buddies with. Here’s why...

You have a career, yet you’re not all consumed by it.

The Pellegrino backs this up as you’re upscale and have the money to afford high-end products. And the foreign (more expensive) beer says you’re either just one of the guys, or if the beer is not for you, you put thought into pleasing the guy you have over.

The three bottles of vino tells me you enjoy your happy juice, both day (Rose) and night (Red). And the brands say expensive, reinforcing you’ve got dinero. The hams/prociutto says you love to snack with the wine you enjoy, whether for some afternoon drinking or late night wine back at your place. (Survey says, bing!)

Now, you’re also a girl that has a shit-load of condiments. I mean, how many mustards can one woman have? There’s like ten here! You don’t cook much, as there’s not many ingredients to make dishes from scratch, but it does say you do a lot of take out, and you’re very specific about which condiment goes well with your numerous takeout dishes.

Plus, with this many condiments, you definitely eat a lot of meat, a big plus. (And a good sign you love to shag) I’m also glad that your condiments say you’re down-to-earth and enjoy foods that most guys love: Heinz ketchup, Grey Poupon and Hellman's Mayo, the big three for a quality cookout.

Lastly, I can see you attempt to be healthy as the Zico, fresh berries and butter lettuce show the effort is there, thus a good chance you have a nice tush. And the Zico and fresh berries are expensive, reinforcing you’ve got Benjamins.

(One item that does stick out is the half-gallon of whole milk: as the rest of your fridge screams healthy grown-up, I’d assume it’s for your coffee and when that inevitably goes stale before finishing, Coffee Mate.)

So, here’s what I’d tell my buddies...nice tush, down-to-earth shekels and shags. It’s a blind date, what more can he ask for?

Fridge Dating Scorecard

Shag on first date: 6.5 You’re busy with your career and don’t have time to play games, but you do put effort into catering to the guy, which also tells me you’re looking for something long term, thus don’t want to give it up too quick.

Marry: 8 You got beer, tons of wine and ham to munch on, plus you’re a big time meat eater. Alll huge plusses and marry-this-chick-now qualities. As you’re a career woman, many in your shoes don’t let the guy be the guy and that lowers the score a couple of points. If you let the guy lead (even if you make more money than him), you’re golden.

Fridge Analysis

Hey John,

A guy whom I’ve been dating for a few months recently came over (for the first time); for various reasons we usually go to his place. Anyway, he proceeded to check out my place and my fridge. No joke full inspection- he opened up drawers and pulled condiments from the back shelf before confirming, “you’re really healthy”.

I was taken aback (albeit annoyed- boundaries!). Never heard of nor had anyone pull something like that. Shared this story with friends- some admitted to doing the same thing! Although they caveated only stealthily when the person was in the bathroom or not around.

Got me thinking is this a common dating practice and I’m the last to know?! I went online and saw your site and had to laugh. Sending through the pic of my fridge, feel free to fire away your best, and most honest, “analysis”;).

Worth noting I have a separate wine fridge that’s over stocked and have some wine leftover waiting to chill. Likely makes me look like an alcoholic? Dunno, you tell me...

-Natalie

Stonehill Analysis

Hey Natalie,

If you’ve been dating for months and it’s the first time he’s been to your pad, something’s rotten in Denmark. We all dig the ‘Home Bed Advantage’, but if it took this long before he wanted to see where & how you live, it’s a red flag (and safe to assume he talks more about himself than asks about you).

Now, the fact that he gave your fridge a colonoscopy does show interest. I can’t say it’s a common dating practice, but we’re all dating detectives. I find that nothing says more about who we are than what we eat and drink, and most of our dating revolves around eating and drinking. Throw in the fact that every brand we buy has a story to tell, target demo and media plan, and it’s fascinating how much the brands we buy (and our fridge) reveal about us.

Lets see what your fridge reveals about you…

First off, I agree with your dude: you’re healthy, a major turn-on. You buy organic brands like Natural Directions and Pacific Foods, which show that you not only care about yourself, but also the environment. Opposites can attract, but odds are you’re not a fit with a Trump supporter or Flounder from Animal House (RIP).

If you can’t take care of yourself when you’re single, you’ll look a shitload worse when you’re married. And it’s not about size, it’s about health. Fat-shamers are bullies, but the ‘obese is beautiful’ crowd is equally retardo. There’s nothing beautiful about heart disease, stroke, diabetes and dying young.

Your fridge reveals you’re probably in shape and I’d assume your dude is the same. That’s a good thing, whether you want to hike together on weekends, or conquer Cinque Terre on vacation.

You stock more fruits and veggies than a bodega, and enough roughage to keep you in Regular Town. (Constipated peeps are miserable to be around)

Personally, I would never date a vegan or someone who’s sober. I have dear friends who are, it’s just not a romantic fit for me. Spying your Tabasco, I’d bet you’re a meat-eater. (Plus, Tabasco speeds up metabolism, and often equals spicy in the bedroom :)

Your fridge model tells me you have a career, as you’re either a homeowner or an upscale renter. (Money can’t buy happiness, but neither can a guy living out of his car) This is backed up your visits to Whole Foods and premium brands like San Pellegrino, Rao's and Kettle One.

You do have a couple generics, but 365 is solid and life is a balance: save where you can, splurge where you should. La Croix is cat-nip for ladies, and you have a healthy stash.

When it comes to lay-out, I see a balance here, too: your fridge is clean and organized, but not anal. (Though your Brita looks like Nemo’s fish tank: buy a new filter and clean out that schmutz)

Lastly, your wine fridge (and stash) is a plus, as you’re fun, social and a great host. If all that wine were for you, you'd be so plastered, your fridge would be a disaster.

Overall, I dig what I see here. I am though am concerned about your relationship. If he’s fun and deserves you, that’s great. But always remember: it’s better to be single than to settle for a douche.

Fridge Dating Scorecard

Bang on first date: 8 You don’t maintain a bangin’ bod for just health and with a busy career, you don't have much time to play games. With your beer, wine and vodka, you have the perfect ammo needed to close. That said, I’d bet you have some guy friends who advise you to wait til date 2.

Marry: 8 You’re in shape, fun, active, social, have a career, yet party within reason. We have a major prospect on our hands here ☺.

FridgePorn

It’s Friday and the perfect time for some (sexy) weekend Fridge Porn.

With prime summer weather upon us, we're spending more time outdoors. And this outdoor living space makes it that much sweeter. It's tailor-made for hosting, whether a group of friends or a saucy evening under the stars with that special someone.

A fridge can be so much more than an appliance to store food. It can be a great tool to shape, grow and improve your social life.

Dating Advice for Beyond the Fridge

Think twice before hiring a Matchmaker.

I’m sure there are Matchmakers out there who do a good job and I’m sure there are additional Matchmakers out there who have the best intentions.

But out of all the friends of mine who have hired Matchmakers, none have been introduced to their spouse.

With summer (prime-dating season) upon us, many singles want to take action. Which is great, they should. But a Matchmaker should be a last resort and even then, it’s Caveat Emptor.

Here are a few of my concerns…

Many Matchmakers Can’t Match Themselves

Would you hire a tennis coach who couldn’t hit a tennis ball? Of course not. Then why hire a Matchmaker who’s single? (Don’t forget: like an RDE, they’re called Matchmakers because, well, they said so)

Now, for the high-profile Matchmakers who took way longer than you’d expect to find their ‘one’, their explanation is that they didn’t listen to their own advice.

I find that odd. If they’re selling their advice for thousands of dollars, you’d think they’d find it valuable enough to actually follow. Maybe. Or maybe the problem wasn’t their listening, but the advice itself.

Cost

My wife spoke with a ‘Celebrity’ matchmaker before we met. This Matchmaker wanted to charge her 20 Grand up front, plus another 20 Grand if she (actually did her job and) found her a spouse, plus thousands more if she went on to have a baby. All this, with no guarantee of success and no refund if she failed.

I find this not only outrageous, but immoral.

Even IVF Clinics, which charge a fortune and guarantee no results, don’t throw out a surcharge for success. I bring up IVF as they too are in a world that deals with clients who are very vulnerable.

Results

Some Matchmakers claim they are responsible for hundreds of marriages. Even if every one of those marriages has been verified (which they aren't), what is their true batting average? That’s the number that counts: the percentage of clients who marry.

Find out how many introductions you get and what the ‘marriage’ rate is from each introduction. Then do the math and the numbers will astonish you.

I’ve also seen Matchmakers claim responsibility for thousands of long-term relationships. Isn’t that a failure if you’re paying to find your spouse? Matchmaking shouldn’t be like horseshoes or hand grenades.

Lastly, a good friend of mine bought a franchise of a well-known matchmaking service. After a couple of years, she realized that the only people making money off the franchise were the guys who sold her the franchise. The service didn’t work well for her clients or for her, and she had to move on.

Again, I’m sure there are good Matchmakers out there who charge a reasonable fee. But before diving into this pool, think about the money you’d have to spend. And think about what else you can do with that money to meet new people. The options are plenty, including summer travel to some amazing (singles-heavy) destinations.

Now, if you feel like a Matchmaker is needed, go for it. But negotiate. Matchmakers are not overseen by the SEC, and there are no matchmaking rules carved in stone.

If they say you get what you pay for, agree with them. Ask for a reduced fee up front, with a larger fee locked in if they succeed. (If they succeed, they deserve it)

7 years ago, I checked this woman’s fridge. (She was clearly a 5-star prospect). 5 years ago, I married her, the smartest thing I ever did. Happy Anniversary to my beautiful, smart, witty, saucy wife. Looking forward to many more years and adventures together. Xo

As the weather’s warming up, summer travel is around the corner. If you’re single, it’s the perfect time to seek out adventure and up your odds in the process.

Enjoy this part of your life. When you’re married (and with kids), you’ll look back fondly on these experiences. But you have to make the memories first.

During the winter, I touched on two killer destinations for men and women to meet singles of the opposite sex: http://tmblr.co/Zc4T9s14Jge4e

For summer, here are 4 destinations for men and women to throw into their consideration pool.

And as we all LOVE to travel, I’ll touch on more destinations for both singles and couples to consider throughout the season.

Single Women

Vegas

No matter how many women there are in Vegas, there’s always one constant: more men. It might not be the sausage fest of March Madness or the Super Bowl, but the odds will be in your favor.

Stonehill suggestion: As countless women dress like it’s Halloween every night of the year there and think sluttier = hotter, wear a cute sundress. You’ll look prettier, plus up your odds of attracting dudes you’d actually want to talk to.

Ireland or Scotland

I’m not saying you’ll meet the man of your dreams, but you’ll have a blast, plus boost your ego in the process. There are countless neighborhood pubs where you can make countless new friends. The people there are so friendly and fun, and after a couple of pints, you’ll have a bar of new besties.

Plus, most pubs are guy-heavy, so you’ll get plenty of attention. Outside the pubs, the countryside has some of the most beautiful scenery on earth and cities like Edinburgh are stunning. You can even try a Scotch or Whiskey tasting. It’s fun, tasty and guy-heavy as well ☺.

Single Men

Paris

Your first thought is, huh? Single dudes going to Paris? Never heard of it. Exactly!

Hordes of women hit this romantic city for many reasons, from the food, to the art to the romance. And that’s where you come in.

Don’t get me wrong. You should enjoy the food and art, too. But if love is in the air, capture that beautiful butterfly, pal!

Chicago

Another surprise pick to some of you, but hells yes. A close friend of mine had his bachelor party there a few years ago and my first thought was, are you kidding?? Why not Vegas or South Beach???

Turned out to be the most fun bachelor party weekend I ever had. The food is great and tailor-made for dudes with some of the best steaks, BBQ and Deep-dish Pizza anywhere.

There’s tons of guy stuff to do, from Wrigley to chartering a boat up the Chicago River with a chest of beers to hitting the beaches.

Fridge Analysis

Stonehill,

Help! This is Jack’s fridge. Here’s the deal: I really like him and he makes me laugh. We sleep together, but he hardly calls and when he does, we hardly go out. I understand that he travels a ton, but I’d like to see him more. Basically I don’t know what’s going on, does his Fridge tell you anything?

xoxo

-Lindsey

Stonehill Analysis

Lindsey,

You seem like a sweetheart and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Greg is as genuine as a 3-dollar bill. He’s not traveling a ton, he just doesn’t want to see you. If he did, he’d call and take you out in public.

We’re here to find the one, so I won’t waste your time with Jack the Jerk-off, and prefer to yank the Band-Aid off quickly.

Lets dive into his fridge. This is a guy who clearly doesn’t leave home much. How do I know? Cause I travel a ton and my fridge doesn’t look like I have enough to survive when the big one hits. Nobody’s left behind this much evidence since OJ, check out the bottom…

I can’t tell you when his bushel of apples was bought, but considering they’re pristine, and without plastic, they’re fresh. His bread in the left drawer is also in good shape and a clear signal he’ll be in town awhile. Buying bread is committing to making sandwiches and/or breakfast at home.

Moving up a shelf, the guy has Tupperware. That’s a pretty domesticated dude. I don’t have Tupperware and I’m married for God’s sake. If he can put enough thought into keeping his shit fresh, he can put enough thought into dialing a freakin’ phone.

Moving up a shelf, look at those sandwiches. They’re less than a day old, and I hope one is for you. If not, he’s having company after you skedaddle. This guy is too damn healthy to down two heroes at once.

Now in defense of you short-changing yourself, I assume Jack has a hard body. There’s a serious amount healthy shit here. I never ever saw a dude with coconut water. Jamie Lee Curtis has less yogurt. The guy’s got game. Almond milk for cereal, skim milk for breakfast and coffee, I’m Impressed. For him, not your prospects.

I don’t even need to get into the bottle of wine and olives, my point is made.

Jack is clearly capable of caring about himself and his comfort, though not your feelings. Now, I’m assuming if you’re sharing your feelings with me, you are with him. (If not, we’ll talk about a good therapist)

Jack is not a bad guy if he doesn’t like you. He’s a bad guy if he’s lying to you. But you’re the one who’s truly at fault here. You dictate the relationship you want to live. If you’re giving Jack everything he needs (i.e.: a good rogering) without getting what you need in return, you’re empowering him to do so.

If you want to see him more, don’t shag him until he sees you more. If you want to be taken out, don’t shag him til he takes you out. Stop giving him what he needs without getting what you need in return. If he stops calling? F’m. Buy a Rabbit and join a tennis league.

If you value yourself less than Happy Hour at Sizzler, that’s what you get…average dudes who want all they can eat for a minimal investment.

Fridge Dating Scorecard

Shag on first date: 8 Considering the guy is probably in great shape and not worthy of being your boyfriend, this is clearly a Bone and Bolt situation.

Marry: 2 The dick won’t even take you out for dinner, Tina Turner saw more chivalry than this.

#DateTipTuesdays

Dating Advice for Beyond the Fridge

Always eat healthy the day after you eat crap.

The fact is, the better we look, the better we feel about ourselves. And that self-confidence is attractive.

A doctor buddy of mine taught me this approach years ago, and not only does it work, it’s sustainable.

If you have a diet program that works for you, perfect. But for most of us who don’t, this is a great start.

No matter how ambitious your goals are, if you can’t sustain what you're doing, you’ll eventually end up in the same place.

This is a simple rule that’s easy to remember and one you can easily accomplish. If it’s a layup for you, you can always extend it to 2 healthy days, then 3.

Though I do extend it at times, I’m always good for 1 day. And it makes a difference. We all have to eat non-healthy now and then. Lets be honest: it tastes great. I ate (and drank) my ass off at Korean BBQ last night. But today, I'll eat healthy. (And workout, of course)
