    I'm surprised people still think fat is bad for you. Your body needs fat for vital functions, especially your brain. Eating animal fat (and vegetable fat) is genetically optimal. We were designed to thrive on fats... from a long long time ago. The fat free hysteria started back in the 80's or whatever still misinforms young people today...

    Healthy habits: I floss my teeth regularly.

    Sleep! I have always loved sleep, and except for a few all-nighters in college normally always got at least 7-8 hours a night. (Lately though I've been struggling with fatigue that persists no matter how much sleep I get, but that's another story.) I also stay away from caffeine for the most part, especially later in the day, so that it doesn't interfere with my sleep clock.

    It could be that I'm just a lazy person, but there's a lot of benefits to laying down/putting your feet up after a long day instead of just sitting in a chair, and to allow enough time to sleep so that you wake up refreshed is one of the best feelings in the world.

    I've always preferred water over any other beverage. Even before I was seriously trying to lose weight I would limit my soda intake. Now that I don't drink anything other than water, (no soda, coffee, tea etc.) I average about 10-15 glasses a day.

    I've always drunk tonnes of water and very few fizzy drinks.

    Also, it may sound cliche, but ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE - it really makes you feel better!

    :drinker: Water - for as long as I can remember I've drunk tons of water. I love it - nothing is quite as refreshing as a glass of water
