tips
---We recommend starting to apply our nutritional principles by avoiding starchy simply carbohydrates like white bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice for dinner.
---Since we are watching the carbs we eat and therefore limiting them, protein becomes essential to our diet. A healthy person should take in 10-35% of their calories from protein. Although their is no storage capacity for protein in the body, excess protein has been shown to reduce osteoporosis and obesity and has no negative side effects for overconsumption. If you eat about 1 gram of protein per 1 lb of your body weight you will be at the upper limits of these percentages.
---Sleep is an essential element to your health. Appreciate it and plan for it. We recommend at a minimum 7 hours of sleep a night.
---Making up more than two thirds of our body, we can't survive for more than a few days without water! We recommend you try to drink 2000 mL of water a day.
