Answers:
The best thing you can do is eat right!. Start walking or riding a bike!.
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!. Smoothies can be good too, depending on what you put in it!.
You don't have to eat eggs, fish or meat for protein!. You can still eat them, but a huge salad with some chicken would be better!.
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!. Raw leafy greens are the highest in nutrient density!.
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!.
