The Good Stuff 411

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 (I eat very little, but I still cook it for my family)

• 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.

So for my 90% I shoot for the above!
