Pre-Diet: What is Pre-Diet?

You have made it this far!!!! Here is a pre-diet below...The purpose of this diet is to condition your body! If you eat something off this diet, remember, its all about portion!

With this same information, I lost 40lbs myself. I hope this information is useful to you and also stop by my spot to print a copy of my weekly dieting & weight loss newsletter.

Diet
1. Drink at least 64 oz of water a day, for every ounce you drink of any other liquid other than water, you must drink the same amount of water to flush (ex: 21oz coke = 21 oz water + 64 required ounces of water)
2. Eat only fresh or fresh frozen fruits and vegetables. Canned fruits an vegetables have too much sugar and salt.
3. Do not add salt to foods, try alternative seasonings that are low in sodium, like Mrs Dash, onion, Italian etc.
4. Eat all three meals a day and healthy snacks in between (ex: Breakfast, Mid Morn Snack, Lunch, Mid Afternoon snack, Dinner ) this will boost your metabolism. Fruits make good snacks! Make a fruit smoothie and add some soy or whey protein to suppress your appetite!
5. No FRIED FOODS and start monitoring you portion sizes.
6. KEEP A FOODLIST! WEIGH YOURSELF 3 DAYS A WEEK! SET GOALS TO LOSE ATLEAST 1-2 LBS PER WEEK! DONT SKIP ANY MEALS, GRAB A LOW CALORIE SNACL TO TIE YOU OVER UNTIL YOU CAN EAT A MEAL!
