Introduction	I am 25 and I live in the Sacramento area. I started my adventure with healthy eating when I was trying to lose weight about 5 years ago. Over the years I have dissected the various 'diets' and trends and I realized something: I need to make a lifestyle change, not just diet. Depriving yourself of certain food groups or not eating enough to feel satisfied can be self defeating. If you don't follow your diet for a day or two you can feel discouraged and choose to just go back to the way you were eating. It creates a bad relationship with food. Food becomes the enemy. Well, since you have to eat to survive, this is not healthy. We should instead learn to love food and embrace it in a way that is good not only for the health of your body, but for the health of your brain as well.
