I have researched many diets. Many of them contradict each other, but I have compiled a list of the foods that over-lap from one diet to another. Ostensibly, these would be the best foods to eat. A GREAT book to check out is The End of Dieting by Joel Fuhrman. He says that you want either a high carb or high fat diet…but not both. Fasting can also give great health benefits…check out this video.

THIS YouTube channel by Dr. Sten Ekberg is amazing!

The BEST advice for getting started with a new diet is to not change EVERYTHING at once so that you are overwhelmed. This is a lifestyle change. If you’re going to do ONE thing to improve your health: Drink WATER instead of anything else. Choose water over all Coke/Pepsi products. Choose water over juice, gatorade, etc. etc. Drink WATER!!! LOTS OF IT!

When you’re hungry ask the question: What foods will nourish my body? NOT: What can I eat that will fill me up?

But, don’t forget to LIVE LIFE!! Get the chocolate cake dessert if you want it…just not at every meal. Don’t stress over your diet.
