1-Drink half your weight in water ounces each day! For example, I weight 130lbs and I drink a minimum of 65oz. If your not a fan of plain water, add fruit! My fav is cucumbers and lemon!
2-Get ride of fake foods! Rule of thumb here is... If its made in a plant DONT eat it and if it comes from a plant EAT IT! A way to start gradually is replace your refined breads and pasta thats made with white flour with ones made from whole grains.
3-Trick your tastebuds! when your used to using salt, & other additives for your food, it can be hard to adjust to the new subtle flavors of whole foods. So mix the Old with the New. For instance, from brown rice to white rice, mix the two and gradually decrease to amount of whit rice each time you make it until your eating only brown rice:)
4-More fruits and veggies! Add a piece of fruit with breakfast and lunch and add a portion of veggies to lunch and dinner!
5-MEAT and Protein! Start out by simply buying lean meat that was grass fed. Eggs need to be free range or pasture raised.
6-Organic fruits and veggies!
7-Shopping! Most of the whole natural foods are found on the outside aisles of the store.
8-Lables are bad! Avoid hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors & colors, preservatives, high amounts of fat, sodium and added sugar.
***IF IT HAS A LABEL-BAD***
***NO LABEL- GOOD***
