13. Eat Breakfast everyday. Within 30 minutes of waking you should “break the fast”. Breakfast helps to jumpstart your metabolism, fuels the brain and body and provides energy.

17. Use herbs and spices to flavor food. Avoid creamy condiments and too much salt.
18. When starting to change eating habits, only try to change 1 habit at a time. Once you have made the life style change with that 1 habit, then start to change the next eating habit. You will have much more success this way.
19. Try never to be starving or overly hungry.
20. Feed yourself small meals or health snacks throughout the day and you’re going to burn more calories.
21. Cut down on your portion size. If you have to, use a smaller plate. This really works.

23. When going out for dinner, Booze or bread, but not both.
24. Eating healthy and clean is a lifestyle, not a diet. Diets are temporary.
25. Have a support group. Friends and family or a coach.
