I vastly researched different diet methods and found reoccurring themes in almost every method. I took these themes and adjusted them to meet my needs. As I stated before in my previous post you have to do what is right when exercising and dieting. Therefore, when planning your diet adapt it to meet your needs.
Below are the Rules for my diet:
1) There are no such thing as too much fruits and veggies. They are full of flavor and nutrients. Therefore if you want to eat 100 carrots one day, go for it! But don't think eating chocolate covered cherries count! To up my amount of fruit and veggie intake I have began drinking a smoothie daily! Check out my Health and Wellness Page for some good recipes.
2) Water is your friend. I have always been an avid water drinker. But the truth is water is the best thing you could drink. According to the Mayo Clinic you should drink at least 9 glasses of water a day. Also, steer away from soda, high sugar juices and alcohol.
3) Moderation is the key. My mother is an avidly conscious of her health. When diets like the Atkins and such became a big deal she told me that it is never smart to cut out any food group and she is right. There is a reason in first grade we all learned about the food prymaid and we should still be applying it today!
4) Have a plan. Taking 20 minutes once a week to plan out your menu for the week. By doing this and knowing what you want and what you want to eat helps in grocery shopping for your food. If you have your food and know what your suppose to eat everyday you are much less likely to grab a burger from McDonald's or a hotpocket out of your fridge in the morning.

5) Eat at the same time everyday. If you eat at the same time everyday your body gets in a habit and is less likely to get hungry at randoms points throughout the day. Therefore, less munching.
6) Take a multivitamin. This will ensure that your body is getting enough nutrients everyday while your diet changes.
Good luck in your dieting!
What are your rules for dieting? Have any suggestions for me?
