Good nutrition is a lifestyle, not a diet. It starts with a new
way of thinking about food. Think of your body s a vehicle that uses
food for fuel. Fill your tank with the right type of fuel.
Do not approach your nutrition as a diet plan, but rather, a
lifestyle change. If you make a permanent change, you will see big
resultes. The key to success is a daily focus on your goal.
Portion your meals and track your calories. There are many free
mobile apps available to help track your activity level and calories.
Control impulsive urges to buy junk food, and instead, allow
yourself to one "cheat" meal a week.
What to Eat
Use the following as a guideline:
Protein, such as eggs, chicken, and lean red meat

Limit the consumption fo bread, pasta, white potatoes, and
processed food. These foods are high in carbohydrates.
When you shop for groceries, shop the outside aisles and buy
organic when possible. Stock up on fresh vegetables, almond flour, and
flax seed.
