Like the three branches of government, bodies, minds, and souls often find themselves in contentious disagreement over how much wine is too much wine in a voting booth. Reconcile triune tribunals with today’s Groupon: for $40, you get one nutrition-counseling session and one follow-up at Decision Nutrition in Great Neck (a $250 value).

Decision Nutrition's founder, registered dietitian Keren Gilbert, has been featured in various media and helps clients forge a path to wellness with custom diet plans and nutrition advice. During the initial 60-minute session, Keren or one of her registered-dietitian colleagues quizzes patients on their current eating patterns, medical history, and candy hiding spots, then records their height, body-fat percentage, and resting metabolic rate. From this data springs an action plan packed with healthful tenets and the seeds for future well-being. For extra motivation, clients will sign a food-and-behavioral contract and keep a daily journal to document food consumption and hunger levels. A 20-minute follow-up appointment checks in on progress and calibrates meal plans to match dieters' unique lifestyles, be they stay-at-home parents, students, or taste testers in a cheesecake factory.
