1. Have a clearly defined goal.  What do you want to achieve?  Put it down on paper.  Study it.

3. Have a vegetable with every single meal.  At least 5 total servings per day.
4. Drink more water.
5. Eliminate soda.
6. Eat more fruit.  At least 3 servings per day.
7. Have at least 3 vegetarian days per week.

13. Eat 1 oz of raw nuts each day (unless you’re allergic).

24. Eliminate added sugars.
25. Eat cold water, wild caught fish at least twice per week
26. Eat more fiber.  That means replacing junk carbs with whole grains and eating more fruits and veggies.
