Don't Eat Junk!
Basically it is that simple! Ditch the sugary, starchy, artificially sweetened junk that America has become addicted to and eat REAL FOOD. Eat garden vegetables (think green), some fruit, lean meats (and seafood), nuts and seeds, little starch and NO SUGAR!
NO-bread, potato, rice, oatmeal, legumes (that includes peanut butter), refined sugar, or artificial sweetener (I promise you can do it!)
Helpful Hints:
- You will basically find all you need on the perimeter of the grocery store.
- Eat often (at least 3 meals and 2 snacks per day)
- Don't fear fat! (This was a hard one for me!)
- Try to eat a protein, carb (from vegetable or fruit), and a fat together at every meal and/or snack. (This keeps your body at homeostasis, which is good.)
- When you cook, cook extra. This will allow you to always have REAL FOOD ready.
- Take snacks everywhere!
- When you are trying to lose weight, you must have fat, but think small amounts. Eat all the veggies you want!
- Peanut butter is BAD, but Almond butter is GOOD!
- Take a quality fish oil on a daily basis. (I take Carlson)
- Write it down (and I mean everything)! If you keep a journal it will hold you accountable. This is also the only way I can help you reach your health and fitness goals.
Remember, you have 1 hour with us and 23 to mess it up!

It is a Lifestyle NOT a Diet!
