Step 2 Stop eating processed foods

It is important to stop eating processed foods at home. You are going to get plenty of bread, rice and pasta when you eat out. So at home, no processed foods. Try to eat Raisin Bran, Total or Oatmeal for breakfast. It takes your body time to digest these grains, so your blood sugar level will be much more stable. Try to eat a salad for lunch a few times a week. Keep the dressing on the side, and dip your fork in the dressing. This way each and every bite has flavor, but you are not overdoing it on the dressing. Remember, when restaurants pile on the dressing the salad is as bad as the double cheese burger for you. Keep it light. For dinner shoot for some baked or grilled chicken or fish, with lightly steamed vegetables.

Do not count calories or glycemic index. It is far too much work to sustain. Diets are temporary partially because they are too much work. If you focus on eating well and correctly, you will automatically start eating less. Have you ever heard someone at a restaurant asking for another salad or steak? If you pick the correct foods, your body is too busy processing them to ask for more. And if you eat regularly you will find it much easier to make a good decision.

Warning, Please to not proceed to step three until you have consistently developed the habits of eating healthy snacks and unprocessed meals. Step 3
