DO:

• Eat food without dressings or sweeteners. You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll grow to like the natural taste of foods.
• Eat less meat. Not that you should become a vegetarian, but most people eat far too much meat and it is a strain on their digestive systems. Use meat as a condiment or to round a meal out.
• Eat more unprocessed vegetables your body will respond by looking and feeling better quickly
• Use unheated healthy oils as your choice of fat source (olive or sunflower)
• Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and your other beverage choices should be natural and calorie free (green tea or natural vegetable juices).
• Read labels, everything must be listed there and it will tell you exactly what it has to offer.

DO NOT:

• Stay away from fast food
• Avoid fried food in general
• Foods high in fat are metabolism bombs and will steal your energy
• Meals high in heavy carbs will slow you down and make you feel bloated.
• No need to zoom past “satisfied” and “stuffed”. Slow down and you’ll know when you have eaten enough.
• Don’t wolf your food. Mealtime isn’t a race. Properly chewing your food goes a long way in properly metabolizing it.
• Do not eat butter that has salt or preservatives added.
• Do not eat pre-packages dips and dressings, make your own from healthy ingredients- it only takes seconds to whisk together and its fresh!
