My Personal Lifestyle Diet
This plan is 100 percent mental. It might take time to get use to but can be mastered. This is a lifestyle change, not just a diet. You are human so I understand that getting off track happens, but your body won’t understand it. This plan was designed personally for me. I am sharing it with you.
Saturated Fats, Calories and Sodium content are what I aim to keep to a minimum and I check labels on all foods. Less Saturated Fats and Sodium intake is very important. Your personal calories needs are most likely different then mines, so you can go to fitness calculators to help you manage your calories. I burn off calories faster because I am very active and need a slightly higher calorie count. I don’t count calories, but I do check food labels for lower intake.
I walk for 10 minutes after eating my lunch around my building at work and I dance for 2 hours straight after work between 4-5 days. I use 2 lbs-5 lbs weighs when I exercise and do 15 minute warm-ups before dancing. Any kind of physical movement can burn calories, but you must eat a balanced meal and drink 6-8 glasses of water daily to stay functional. I am not a doctor or physician. This plan is based off my personal needs designed by my doctor. Please consult your own doctor if you are planning on changing your diet or before you start new exercises.
Note: If you are currently on a diet plan or a diabetic, please contact your doctor before using this plan. I am not liable for any injuries or health issues as a result of this plan. Again, this is my diet plan that I am sharing with you.
*Note: According to cancer.org, subtract 500 calories daily from you to lose 1 to 2 pounds. Example: 250 calories from exercise and 250 from food intake.

Major Foods
Eat Lean Meats (I only eat fish and chicken [mainly breast meat] but you are not limited here.) If you are going to eat beef and pork, make sure it is lean meat. I prefer not to eat pork or beef. Turkey has a lot of fat in it so be careful with that too.
Eat Veggies/Fruits
-Less white veggies
If you are not a veggie eater try cooking it with Italian dressings
Eat Yogurts
Eat Bran Cereals
Eat whole grain breads and pasta
*No or very little mac-n-cheese (very high in sodium)
Drink 100 percent juices but mainly water (6-8 glasses a day)
Drink 2% milk or lactose free milk
No sweeteners
No drinks or sodas
No processed meats
No hot dogs, ground beef, grinded turkey or sausage.
No more than 16grams of real sugar
No American cheese, but other cheese are okay.
Less to no salt. Use other spices to flavor meals. Example: Mrs. Dash
*Note: If you are sensitive to gluten, eat gluten free breads or less bread. Bread sticks to your waistline, but do not cut it out of your diet.
Snack Foods (I’m still a snacker. It’s the kid in me.)
Fruits
Dark Chocolate/Mints
Any nuts except peanuts
Air popped or canola oil popped Popcorn
Sorbets
No Aspartame. That means no gum. Choose mints.
Good luck,
