The Right Diet for You-Great article..helps you figure out what type of eater you are (grazer? convenience foods only? night time eater?) in order to figure out what type of diet will work best for you.
6 Common Diet Plans- basic info on the 6 most popular diets
7 Big Benefits of Regular Exercise- a little motivation
Trick Yourself Thin- A few more tips! Some of these are man-specific, but they're still good. Re number 6: Get a sun lamp (it's the only way I can get up in the mornings), get outside in the sun (run or walk outdoors!), and be sure to eat some healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, beans, or whole grains to combat seratonin driven carb cravings.
I know a lot of people's resolutions are weight or health related, so I'm trying to keep the articles coming! If there's anything specific that you're looking for, let me know, and I'll dig something up!

I was flipping through the current issue of Shape magazine and found some interesting little bits that might help some of you (at least they did for me :).
Excerpt from the Katharine McPhee interview (American Idol singer who recovered from bulimia):
3 Things I Learned About Healthy Eating
1) THERE ARE NO BAD FOODS.
Katharine: "I love Snickers bars. For many years, I denied myself, which is why I wanted them so badly. In the eating-disorder center I attended, I had to eat them every day to get over the excitement. Now I rarely crave them."
2) SNACK SMART.
Katherine: "I'll have an apple with peanut butter or cottage cheese with fruit. Healthy foods like these help satisfy my hunger."
3) LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.
Katherine: "I eat what I want--pizza, pasta with marinara sauce, ice cream, bread--but now I pay attention to how I feel while I'm eating. When I'm full, I stop."
