It's What You Eat, How Much You Eat and When You Eat

What You Eat:
Stop eating "The Standard American Diet" (SAD) and begin eating veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds. Limit your intake of beef, turkey, chicken, only acquiring these items from a hormone/antibiotic- free organic farm. Eat Wild-Caught fish, never farm-raised. Find out your blood type and metabolic needs and determine the diet that corresponds with your body type.

How Much You Eat:
When you cook pasta for yourself, make half a box, not a full box. When baking salmon make 8 oz not a pound. Eat two hamburgers not three. You get the point. Hey, you can even eat too much of a healthy food. A small handful of almonds are good for you, but eating a pound a day would be fattening.

When You Eat:
The experts say do not eat a meal within 3 1/2 hours before you go to bed. Some people just make a point of not eating supper after 6:00 or 7:00 depending on your schedule. If you are hungry late at night make sure it is some protein or good carbs, like a small handful of almonds. Never pour sugar down your gullet before bedtime.

It is a good idea to eat a hearty and healthy breakfast. DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST. Seriously consider eating a sald or a bowl of vegetable soup in the morning. Eat some fruit and/or Ezekiel's bread with almond butter. Put some blueberries and cherries on your salad. Eating a good breakfast will curb your afternoon cravings for sweets. Remember to drink pure water too.
