Food for Thought

Good nutrtion is a lifesyle , not a diet. It starts with a new way of thinking about food. Think of your body as a vehicle that uses food for fuel. Fill your tank with the right type of fuel.

Control impulsive urges to buy junkfood, 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
• Vegatables, but avoind corn and peas
• Fruit
• Fat, such as olive oil, nuts, and seeds

Limit the consumption of bread, pasta white potatoes , and processed food. These foods are high in carbohydrates.

When you shop for groceries , shop the outside aisles ad buy organic when possible. Stock up on fresh vegatables, almond flour, and flax seed.
