Week 3: Simplify Breakfast and Lunch

This week, do these things to grow younger:

1. Eat the Same Things for Breakfast and Lunch

Yes, every day. You can reboot your body to be the healthy weight it's destined to be by stripping away much of the thinking and debating about eating. See, people who minimize food choices lose more weight. Try these delicious options.

2. Get a Buddy to Help you Stick with Your 30-Minute Daily Walks

It can either be a buddy to walk with, or just someone to call every day and say, "I did my walk!" Reporting in keeps you motivated and focused on your goal. The bonus: That bond results in intimacy (not necessarily involving satin sheets), which also helps your health.

Bonus Moves for Overachievers

• Monday: Perfect your portions. If you want to lose weight as well as years, try eating three-quarters of the amount of food you usually eat every day (but make it healthy food). Or eat the same amounts, but replace your usual foods with ones that contain more nutrients and fewer calories (as in drop the french fries, add the arugula). Use these tricks to make your mind think you're eating extra.
• Wednesday: Don't touch that dial! Talking on your cell while driving increases your chances of a severe or even fatal accident. Using a hands-free phone doesn't lower your risk. Turn your phone off in the car (and NO texting!).
• Friday: Nix stress. Write down the two things in your life that stress you out the most. Then, identify at least two steps for dealing with each issue. That's four good things for you to try. Or use these destress strategies.
