A healthy eating plan isn't about you
becoming the food police.

What a healthy eating plan is all about...is you feeling great about yourself. You can still enjoy your favorite sweets and fried foods, but just do it in moderation.

Make putting more good stuff inside you the norm and the "other stuff" the exception.

Food is a great source of pleasure, and pleasure is good for the body.

Just learn moderation. In other words, start sharing your occasional dessert and quit eyeballing everybody else's.

It's so much healthier to lose weight by eating 5 smaller meals more often. Instead of starving yourself to lose a few pounds, then going on a binge and gaining it all back and more (been there, done that).

If you’re serious about losing weight wrap your arms around this healthy eating plan (5 meals a day) and don’t let go; because the more meals you eat throughout the day, the more efficient your body becomes at burning off those meals (instead of storing.) Remember, being a bit hungry is your metabolism letting you know that it's kicked into high gear and that your body is becoming a lean mean fat-burning machine.
