Some easy suggestions on eating...

Most overweight Americans have a history of eating and drinking the wrong types of food and beverages, and consuming too little of the right kinds.

When I start working with folks I try to introduce them to the following ideas:

1. Veggie-load in every way possible.
2. Amp up their fruit intake by skipping sugar juices and adding fresh fruit to nutritious smoothies.
3. Learn to love (and pronounce) quinoa (KEEN-wah)—it's a grain and a protein!
4. Eat lean cuts of meat and poultry.
5. Eat sandwiches with one slice of Ezekiel bread, which is full of fiber.
6. Select whole grains such as brown rice and whole wheat noodles.
7. Minimize consumption of red meat and high-fat dairy foods.

In His Grace,
Mark
