Are your habits making you fat?

One of the main ideas I try to convince people to undertake and possibly the best piece of wisdom passed onto me is that being healthy is a habit and a lifestyle, not something you can do for a short while and reap the benefits.

David Zinczenko, Editor-in-chief of Men's Health Magazine, was one of the first people I chose to follow on Twitter.  Not only does he drop very wise words of wisdom, but he also authors the great "Eat this, not that!" books.  Click on the following link to see a list of habits that make you fat:

20 Habits that make you fat - By David Zinczenko

A few of these habits I would like to highlight:

- #1 Eating "Low-fat"
    Usually low-fat = more sugar to "enhance" the taste so be careful!
- #3 Sleep
  Remember that a lack of sleep is detrimental to your physical health!
- #5 Drinking Soda
  Diet is just as bad as regular.
- #6 Skipping meals
  Doing this makes the insulin spike the next time you eat a meal = more fat stored
- #11 Eating off large plates
  If you recall the Food Experiment YOU should try post that I put up a while back, this actually works
- #15 Not drinking enough water
  One of the biggest problems people have is not drinking enough water, how is your H20 intake?
