Hi everybody this is Monica Reinagel the nutrition diva here with the

year's final quick and dirty tip for eating well and feeling fabulous.

So after a month of office parties, family

get-togethers, comfort food, and holiday celebrations, it's no wonder that

most New Year's resolutions have to do with a healthy lifestyle.

Now although you could get cynical about how long those resolutions typically last,

I'd rather make the most of this inclination to renew our commitment to healthy habits.

To help fuel your efforts in that direction, here are my five best healthy eating tips from 2014,

plus a bonus tip. And now here are my five best tips from the year 2014.

Tip number one, don't wear out your willpower.

Whether you've resolved to eat less junk food or maybe to get to the

gym more, sticking to that resolution will probably require some willpower. But when we call on our

willpower to help resist a temptation, we actually deplete our reserves,

leaving us less able to resist the next temptation.

Back in January, I offered three tricks for maximizing your willpower. The first and most important

was to remove as many temptations from your environment as you can. If you don't

want to eat it, don't bring it into the house. If you must have it in the house, put it in a

cupboard or a closet that is out of sight and difficult to get to. And if after all that, you

decide to indulge, serve yourself a single portion into a small bowl and put the rest

away.

I can't overemphasize just how powerful this can be.
