Instead of a strict diet that tells you all the things not to eat, Freston suggests a better way: crowd out instead of cut out. Essentially, you focus on what to do vs. what not to do by slowly working good habits into your routine. After time, you're eating and drinking so many healthy things that you don't have room for the bad stuff.

To keep the doctor away and melt pounds, Freston suggests eating an apple every day. These fruits are full of an especially good fiber called pectin, she says, which slows down the process of digestion and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.

Freston advises drinking an 8-ounce glass of water at least eight times a day, and more importantly, to drink water immediately before a meal. This technique, called pre-loading, literally fills up your stomach so you get full faster and don't eat as much. In one study, participants who drank two cups of water before eating lost five pounds more fat than those who did not.

Freston says one of the easiest things you can do to speed weight-loss is to add two tablespoons of flaxseed into your daily regimen--mixed into your morning oatmeal, blended with a smoothie or sprinkled over soup or salad. Flaxseed is full of fiber so fills you up and keeps you feeling full. It can be found in the health food section of the grocery store or a specialty store like GNC.

Freston describes dairy milk as designed to nourish a baby calf and help it quickly put on a thousand pounds. Because adult humans don't need the fat, lactose and growth hormones, she advises switching dairy milk for a non-dairy alternative like soy, almond, hemp or rice milk.

One of the good things about Freston's plan is that she advises eating the foods you love but swapping in healthier alternatives where possible. An easy trick is switching one animal product in your routine for a plant-based product. Instead of hamburger, have a veggie burger. Instead of a chicken taco, have a black-bean taco. Over time, these little changes add up.

Just as you would schedule your workday with clearly defined meeting times, goals and to-do lists, Freston advises scheduling your eating and exercise habits to help hold yourself accountable. As you move through the day (8AM: oatmeal with flaxseed, 11AM: apple and water, etc.), you'll feel accomplished as you check things off your list.

Many of us are emotional or thoughtless eaters, shoving down food in a trance-like state. To curb this bad habit, Freston recommends stopping for five minutes a day, closing your eyes and reviewing your state of being mentally and physically. Then you'll be less likely to over-eat as a way of self-soothing because you've taken a moment to register how you're feeling and why.
