Keri Glassman, RD, takes whole-body approach in 'New You and Improved Diet'

Weight loss is more than just diet and exercise, says registered dietitian Keri Glassman. Obviously, those are important, but just as important are sleep, stress reduction, organization, empowerment, breathing and even love.

Glassman, a regular on "Access Hollywood Live" and the "Today" show, was on "Today" Thursday to discuss her new book "The New You and Improved Diet" (Rodale Books, $24.99).

The fact is, if you dont look at all of these other areas of your life, it doesnt matter how great that meal plan is, how motivated you are or that grocery list you have, youre not going to lose weight, Glassman told Al Roker. But on a positive side, if you focus on all of these other areas of your life, youre going to lose weight and become healthier almost automatically.

Dont look at losing weight as saying goodbye to things you cant eat, Glassman said. A fat burning overview can help you produce a clear summarize of what you require to focus on to carry out your fat reduction goal if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more advance step of their weightloss strategy. Applying are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your personal weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss applications have tricked people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by leading to a person's body to reduce more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Instead, eat from a place of empowerment and not deprivation, focusing on all the great things you can eat.

And Glassman gives you some tasty choices with her books 8-week plan of menus, which feature non-diet foods like dark chocolate, grass-fed beef, guacamole and nuts.

The number 8 is important to Glassman 8 hours of sleep, deep breathing for a count of 8, an 8-week meal plan, 8 favorite empowering foods, and even an 8-foods cleanse.

Glassman writes: What does eight have to do with weight? I may not be a math geek, a numerologist, or a big believer in mysticism, but eight is ... great! The Pythagoreans considered it a symbol of balance. And the Chinese think it is such a lucky number that they kicked off the Beijing Olympics at 8 seconds and 8 minutes past 8 p.m. on 8/8/08!
