When setting up your plan here are some simple tips to follow. The first thing to know about eating right is that you need to cut all the junk out of your diet. This means that you need to get rid of foods that have added sugars or added oils to them. Another thing that you will have to cut out of your diet is fast food which may taste great, but it is not good for you! Instead, here are some things that you need to consider eating in order to lose weight properly:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Low fat dairy products (low fat or nonfat yogurt, low fat or nonfat cheese, Low fat or nonfat milk) or soy dairy products
• Whole grain products (try to avoid products unless they have 100% whole wheat or have if they have added sugars)
• Lean cuts of meats (chicken, turkey, buffalo, lean beef products)

After figuring out what to eat, it is important to remember portion size. You cannot just switch what you put into your body and expect to achieve results based upon that alone. One portion is usually the size of your palm and no thicker than a deck of cards. Without portion control no diet has the ability to give you the long-term results you seek.
