  • Eat several times a day, minimum 3 times a day (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner)  Ideally 5 times a day.

  • Eat only fruits until noon.  Try not to eat heavy breakfast.  Eat a whole fruit every one or two hours.

  • Eat small portions (smaller than your fist)  if you feel full after a meal, you ate too much.  You should feel
    satisfied after a meal but not full.

  • Some of the 5 meals should be simple snacks like power bars, protein drinks - shakes, or better, nuts, raw
    vegetables or whole fruits.

  • Eat fruits 4 or 5 servings per day.  Avoid too sweet fruits too late at night (pineapple) or eat them by
    themselves.

  • The best combination is protein: chicken, fish, turkey, or eggs (white) or lean meat with salad.  If you really feel
    like eating something else, add the salad first, then the vegetables, then the animal protein and last the
    carbohydrates:  Ex:  rice.  Much better No carbohydrates, No Rice, No pasta, No bread, No processed sugars.

  • Try not to mix carbs with proteins in the same meal.  You can mix salads and vegetables with the protein and
    eat the carbohydrates by itself two or three hours later.
