Wow, great topic. Thanks for all the info everyone.
A suggestion for the 9th mindless habit: The Calorie Myth
It's only mindless because ever since the 80's food pyramid(in the US) mentality towards health has been literally brainwashed and programmed into us the Calorie Myth has become just another mindless misnomer. Like "everyone knows the government it here to help you." Hahaha
In brief just indiscriminately eating less calories/fats/carbs to loose weight is not only a flawed concept it can be dangerous. Whole food weight trainers have known this for years, and the science has been available to back it up even longer, but recently a book has been published called "The Calorie Myth," and it explains this concept very well.
A calorie is not a calorie is not a calorie. If you start discriminating and eating the right calories, i.e. from hole natural foods, you can literally eat as much as you want and still loose weight.(Especially if you have the history of eating the wrong calories.)
I am living proof.
Grandote, tart cherry helps with sleep? Would you mind providing a more specific anecdote? i.e. does it help getting to sleep, or sleep quality, or both? How much, how often and any brand recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks

We get a bit of sugar in fruits and veggies, even a trace in meat but that won't hurt you. I would say stay away from fruit juice which is going to be mostly apple juice with one or two other things added. The only fruit juice I drink is tart cherry and its like a supplement, it helps me sleep and its very good for you. But avoid added sugars if you want to stay healthy and lose weight.
