Okay, it's a new year and most of us are probably going to try to live a little bit more healthier than the last view months. We know what kind of food we should eat, and what kind of (yummy) things we shouldn't eat. We also know that a good work out regime can really help to get your body (back) in shape. But after a view weeks many of us find it hard to keep making healthy choices. January is not a problem (we visit the gym three times a week, and now how to say no to a glass of wine when having drinks on a friday night). But during february, when it's still cold outside, we suddenly are longing for a cup of hot chocolate and cookies, plus some pasta and a glass of red wine, with freshly baked bread and garlic butter. 

So how are we going to stay focused, so we actually will get fitter? I've learned that reading about health (how to finally get that amazing body, some other workout tips or different kind of healthy new recipes) can really help to stay focused and to prevent bad (food) choices. So the next time when it's raining outside, and you don't feel like going for a run, grab a magazine and read some quick tips to give your (daily) workout regime a boost. And if you've read The Truth About Food you'll think twice the next time you're eating some chocolate chip cookies. It's all about understanding what (bad) food is doing to and for your body. I'm not saying you will never want to eat a chocolate brownie or a slice of pizza (because you will), but when you know and understand food a little bit more you'll hopefully find it less hard to pass on the finger food when having drinks with friends and find it easier to cook healthy every night (well, almost then).
