Tip #1: Fill Up On Premium

The most important tip of the “Top 10 Tips” is to always fill up on the best-for-you-foods first; then you can eat other foods.

The moment you decide to make some changes in your diet in order to lose weight and/or gain health and fitness, the very first thought that probably pops into your head is: “What am I going to have to give up?” You can’t help but moan.

Instead of thinking about what foods you “have to” sacrifice, focus on what foods you “get to” add to both fill you up and satisfy you.

You “get to” add at least 10 fresh fruits to your day. Does this sound like a lot of fruit? If you would consider eating fruit only throughout the morning, enough to satisfy you and fill you up, you may surprise yourself and eat as many as 10 fruits by noon.

Even if you can eat only 5 fruits until noon, by eating fruit for snacks, you can easily eat 10 fruits by the end of the day.

You also “get to” add 10 vegetables to your daily food plan. This is even easier than eating 10 fruits in a day. Most of the time, your lunch should include a large, green-leafy salad with 10 different vegetables. Just with this one salad, you have already eaten at least 10 vegetables and at least half of the fruits by noon, and dinner is yet to come.

For dinner follow the one rule: fill up on salad and other vegetables before eating other foods. If you eat enough vegetables to fill you up, you may naturally gravitate away from those foods that are void of nutrition and fiber, and full of fat, cholesterol, and animal protein.

Simple addition: 10+10 premium foods by the end of the day, plus whole grains and beans, equals better chances for better health today and for the rest of your days.
