• Read the labels, make sure you avoid, more like never buy anything with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or partially hydrogenated fats (HF) at the store. Avoid artificial sweeteners (AF) and food coloring (FC).
• Avoid any regular or diet soda.
• Avoid fruit juice and eat the fruit. Fruits are great but are high in sugar, so keep the amount of fruit per day under 3.
• Incorporate the freshest and colorful produce in your daily meals. If available opt for locally grown and organic.
• Use olive oil for most cooking, butter and vegetable oils on rare occasions. Experiment with cooking. Bake and grill
• Eat lean protein (fish, meat, chicken or tofu) of your choice with dinner and protein-rich foods with breakfast, lunch and snacks. Eat fish 2-3 times per week. Watch for the portions of starches and use whole grain.
• Eat legumes (minimum 1/2 cup daily). Remember those are good sources of protein, starch and fiber.
• Drink plenty of water, 1-2 cups of coffee and green tea.
• Take a walk at lunch time. Try to reach your exercise-goal.
