I shoot for a 90/10 philosophy for eating. 90% of the time, when I am in-charge of my life and what I am cooking, eating and doing, I follow the guidelines below (to the best of my ability):
Try to eat whole, real foods. Veggies, fruits, nuts.
Avoid dairy
Avoid meat
Avoid processed foods
Drink 64 ounces of water
Get NO LESS than 30 grams of FIBER but shoot for more
Walk wherever I can. Park in the back of the lot! Take the stairs! MOVE!
Aim for no more than 2000 Calories
Now that said sometimes life is not in your hands. 10% of the time I roll with the flow. If I am at a friend’s house for dinner and she has cooked meat, or made an appetizer with cheese or dairy, I will eat it. I have always been bothered by people who make blanket statements of “I don’t”…..and the last thing I ever want to be is one of those people that no one thinks is any fun! Or a guest that someone worries about having to cook for. There is not much I will not eat….there are just a lot of things I CHOOSE not to eat on a regular basis. Thus the 90/10 rule.
