The key to success is simple:
- eat 5-6 meals per day
- take in "good carbs"
- take in "good fats"
- always incude a source of protein in each meal
- eat at home before you go to social functions, football games, school events, meetings...you will not be hungary, and you are less likely to grab something unhealthy!
Keep good foods in your bag or car..sunflower seeds, water, apples, granola, almonds....so if you miss a meal cause you'r running the kids all over God's reation, you at least have something to snack on !
Check out teambix.com's nutrition section - there is TONS of information regarding nutrition! That's where I educated myself...
Remember...this is a LIFE CHANGE, not a diet. This isn't to say I don't treat myself to a little something here and there - I'm human !

Alton Brown of the food network did an episode on making your own granola and you should do that. It's way better and healthier for you compared to the 20-40% saturated fat found in most mainstream granola bars.
The ingrediants are honey, agave nectar, oatmeal, wheatgerm, dried fruits, almonds and something else... anyways... That would be fun and substantial in terms of helping people eat properly and not give up food altogether :)
thanks...i've been wanting to try it !!! I'll see if I can pul it off this weekend!
