NEW YORK, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Anyone who's ever been on a diet knows it can be frustrating. You lose a few pounds and feel good, then gain a few and feel bad. Health experts all agree that this rollercoaster effect is not healthy. Bob Greene, Oprah Winfrey's personal trainer, says dieting is about changing your life -- not only with how the body works, but also how the mind works.

In his new New York Times best-selling book, "The Best Life Diet," Greene emphasizes the need to understand and improve the emotional relationship between eating and food. He believes that eating should be one of life's greatest pleasures. To make it easy to find foods that fit his philosophy, he developed the "Best Life Seal of Approval," which can be easily spotted on products at your local grocery store.
He also highlights in his new book a variety of foods that are good choices for anyone trying to eat more healthfully and lose weight. He recommends starting your day with organic cereals, and eating a lunch with soup and whole wheat bread or crackers. For a late afternoon snack, try yogurt topped with granola and nuts; and for dinner, add steamed vegetables.
