You will get everything you need by eating the following:Raw leafy green veggies (romaine, red and green leaf lettuces, kale spinach, etc)Solid green veggies - raw, steamed or frozen (asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, peas, peppers, etc)Non-green, non-starchy (beets, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, etc)Beans/legumes - cooked, canned or sprouted ( chickpeas, pinto beans, black beans, etc)Fresh fruits (apples, bananas, oranges, watermelon, etc)Starchy veggies (white potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, corn, carrots, etc)Whole grains (barley, millet, oats, brown rice, quinoa, etc)Raw nuts and seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc)Do not skip breakfast. Oatmeal with fresh fruit. No sugar or milk. Rice or almond milk is better.You don t have to eat eggs, fish or meat for protein. Raw leafy greens are the highest in nutrient density.Don t count calories or carbs. Diets and pills don t work. Man made vitamins are just that man made . Man can not copy all the nutrients that are found in live foods.Drink filtered water. City water may have added chemicals. Can you really trust bottled water?Pop is one of the worst things you can put in your body. Stay away from sugar, junk food and fast food. For further reading, get the book below.

First off, limit yourself to 6 times that you are going to eat every day.. No more. Make sure to eat a breakfast that is at least 60% fruit. A smoothie is always a great idea, and a glass of SKIM milk NOT whole milk. In between breakfast and lunch, if you need to, limit yourself to a banana, or something small and healthy like that. Get a nalgene, or big bottle of water and drink at least three full bottles a day. You will find that the water really fills you up, and takes away any cravings. At least twenty minutes of excersize is also crucial. Try riding your bike to the market, or doing favors for your parents by running to the pharmacy, and doing errands for them while getting excersize. If you are like me, then you dont like running for no reason, so doing something like that is a good excuse. Your dinner should be your smallest meal by far... Go to bed feeling comfortable or maybe even a bit hungry.Good Luck!!!
