2. Hydrate: Drink half your weight in ounces of water.

3. Get moving: Walk 20 minutes a day, work your way up to 30 minutes.

4. Follow the Meal Plan: Choose one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner and one to two snacks from the plan below. Enjoy non-starchy vegetables in unlimited amounts.

5. De-stress: Devote six minutes to meditate, stretch, reflect and feel gratitude.

Plan to pause for a manageable six minutes each day (we can all do that!) to practice controlled breathing, stretch out your body and remind yourself about things you are feeling grateful for.

This practice will heighten your overall well-being

6. Do good: Do at least one act of kindness.
