but when thehe deadlinwas introduced, the men scored higher. one researcher is quoted as saying women might want to avoid environments under which they have to perform under time pressure. because they have a lower ability to handle that pressure. meaning i shshouldn't doing this job? >> time's up, amy. >> that's it. you handle it. you handle that pressure well. >> everybody here does. i'm not going to get anywhere near that argument. >> oh, ali's taught you well. she's taught you well. weave a big headline out of oregon for women and birth control. including the pill and the patch, now being sold without a doctor's prescription in that state. with california soon to follow. abc's chief women's health correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is here to break it down. >> the thinking here is that it's all about access. many women may not go on the pill as a means of bth control because they don't have the time or money to see their doctor medically, look, the pill has been out for over 50 years.

hehealth car for those paying attention, we have seen a dialing back in a lot of recommendations. pap smears, pelvic ems, maograms, now this. i think ultimately that has a real risk of jeopardizin women's health, not improving it. i would encourage women to uncouple their regular yearly gyn exam. it's about treating the whole woman from head to toe. >> not just about access. it's about care. >> it's about care. >> there will be a lot of questions. you'll be on twitter? >> you know it. all morning. >> you'll see it. dr. j. ashton on twitterer. st your questions on our facebook page as well. lara, what else is coming up? thank you, robin. here's what's coming up on our "gma morning menu." madonna's custody battle for her son. how the teen is fighting back. and our big reveal is just moments away. who is coming back to "gma"? we're going to tell you that. and we have more from our exclusive with miss universe. what she has to say about steve

>> let's get over to robin. >> all right, guys. thank you very much. all week long, we're going to be talking about how to kick those bad habits and start good ones. to help us, we have chris and heidi powell. they have a new book out. "extreme transformation." lifelong weight loss in 21 days. wonderful to see you. 21 days? three weeks it will take someone to break a habit. can that happen? >> it's true. most of the research points to just that. 21 days. at the same time, i know a lot of people's journey is more than 21 days. but the biggest thing is, we want to set the solid foundation and once people understa the nutrition, the exercise, the psychological aspect of it, continue through several cycles of that to reach your ultimate goal. >> wha really appreciatate about the book, you do not sugar-coat things. no pun intended. you know it's challenging for a lot of people. it's not easy. >> no, it's not. i think the more we do sugar-coat things, the -- the

expectations are. then they're disappointed in the end. if we can say it how it is, everyone knows what to expect. they'll achieve their goals sooner. it will be more sustainable. >> that's the key. we keep talking about sugar. we have it in our diet. >> we have too much of it. that's the biggest problem. tip number three. we really want to focus on this. start -- want to say don't eliminate sugar. start reducing sugar in our diet by just try removing a soda a day or some kind of sweetened juice a day. by removing one soda a day, we're taking almost 1 1/2 cups out of our diet of sugar evy single week. over five cups a month. that's -- just by eliminating one? >> yes. and it's reekwreaking havoc on our body. instead, substitute with a sweetened water. >> you need the sweetener in the water. >> i do. i'm a normal person. i hahate drinkg regular wateter. love to have my war sweetened. guilty as charged. but it's good for you. >> salt. it's in places we don't think it is.

inin the avege american diet, it has twicas much sodium as our bodies really need. we need to reduce the salt. cured meats, lunch meats. high-sodium deli m meats. canned soups. let's just get 'em out of our diet. we don even need them. salt, let's toss the salt shaker. replace it with a low-sodium, salt-free seasoning. >> why do you have this bag packed and ready to go? what's up with that? >> prepare for success. the night before, lay out the gym clothes, the gym bag. get it ready. get all the stuff together, ready to go. but also, put this on the other side of the room from your bed, next to your alarm clock. because you're not going to roll over and hit snooze. you have to rollut of bed. come face to face with the commitment you have made to the brand-new you. >> you have to change the way you think in order to change the way you feel. i love the new year. always good to see you both. thank you very much. and, time now for the big reveal. does this count as my five minutes?

so maybe with the way the winners are written on the card maybe that's why. because you kind of have to read the second runner upskip the first runner up, go to the winner. because that's the way it's supposed to be announced on tv. maybe the way it was written was a little bit confusing. i understand. it was his first time to judge a pageant. it's okay. he's human. people make mistakes. it's live television. it's not easy. i understand. it's fine. >> do you think he did a good job overall? do you think he s should b back as the host of "miss universe" next year? >> yeah, why not? he's a breath of fresh air. he made us feel very relaxed, the contestants. it makes us show our personality a littlele bit mor i think that benefits everybody, especially the viewers. >> very gracious. >> very gracious. jinx, buy me a coke. also in "pop news" a new study suggesting being generous

ultimately, it was. >> it was? >> it was. >> i see a glint in the eye. >> you know, the last year has it's changed life a lot. i would never take it back. >> so all in all, you're saying it was a good experience. i know, obviously, you can't give anything awaway. will viers get a lot of twists and tuas "the bachelor" has been known to do in recent season >> i think anytime you get a group of people in a house together, dating one person, i think things will happen. and, you know, it't's life. and how people interact with each other. every season will be different. this season, i think is definitely different than ones in previous. >> the shoe is now on the other foot. you dealt with kaitlyn. seat. how is the experience different for you? >> i think being the lead. is definitely different than being a cast member. you know you're not going home. you know you're going to be around. i think i wanteded to makeure all these women felt like i appreciated them being there. because i did. and that's kind of my responsibility to take. >> you appppreciatedhem, but that doesn't stop the train from

moving. you still have to say good-bye. >> definitely. >> as the process goes on. what was that like? >> it was a lot harder than i thought. i saw the end result. you forget that there's a lot of heartbreak and pain to get there. there's a lot of emotion through the experience. >> without giving away any secrets, was there a moment where something happened that you were like, gosh, i wish this wouldn't be on camera? i wish i could not have this happen? >> when i signed up for it, i knew my life wou be on display. i think the women that came on knew that their lives would be on display. you kind of roll with it. people are going to laugh and maybe cry with me. i'll be embarrassed at times. >> maybe a kiss, a couple? >> you'll probably see me kissing sometimes. >> look at you getting shy. did you get advice from other "bachelors "? >> some of the best we have had. who are the best?

jason mesnick. they came on to give me a lilittle bit of advice. >> what was the advice? >> be true to myself. don't worry about what people are going to think. just be true to yourself and the experience. because ultimately, this is about mylf and the women. and if this is going to work, we have to be who we really are. >> how old are you again? >> 26. >> 26. are you old enough to get married? >> uh, yeah, definitely. there wasn't a doubt in my mind. >> i'm here for you, america. trying to do the job. i understand you're going to donate a coat. >> yes. >> would you mind doing that >> no, i would love to. >> thank you so much, ben, you're a delight. we can't wait to see how it works out. i'm sure well, no matter what. ben brought his college friends with him. so my guess is they're having a great time here in new york. >> definitely. >> t season premiere of "the bachelor" starts tonight at 8:00. an extended sneak peek is yours at our website. goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo!. but right now, we're going
