The Natural Food Balanced Diet

This is not a "diet." It is a suggestion for how to build lifelong healthy eating habits. If you go on a "diet," then you'll eventually go off of your diet. When you do, you'll eat like crap and gain the weight back. If you want to live a healthy lifestyle, then you have to make permanent changes. Healthy food just tastes better than unhealthy food.

- Consume fewer calories than you burn.
- Don't eat if you're not hungry.
- Don't eat until you're stuffed.
- Eat LOTS of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Try to eat lean meats and some healthy fats.
- Don't skip breakfast.
- Avoid ALL processed foods in favor of natural whole foods.
- Exercise for at least 30 minutes three times a week.
