You don’t have to have all the perfect decisions to get started. It is never going to be the right time.
Read the three steps below. They are all you need in your dietary toolbox to get started. Forget what you think you know. Ignore what you just read in your favorite magazine.




Check out the ONLY three things you need to think about to get started:
1 – DON’T over complicate it. You don’t have to pick a diet camp. You You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.. Or low fat. Or try intermittent fasting. Or pick option D that includes low fat intermittent fasting. Sure, all these things can work. The goal is to find what works best for you, individually.

We know we should be shopping on the outer perimeter of the grocery store where all the actual food is. We know Oreo’s and Lucky Charms are not good for us. Grow up and leave that stuff on the shelf.
