Step 1: Vegetables And Fruits

In virtually any diet that is consumed, vegetables are the best tool for improving health. The reason for this is the good nutrition that is packed into them. All vegetables have benefits, but some are better than others. Your goals are these:

• Eat a serving of vegetables with every meal.

• Eat a variety of colors of vegetables and fruits. Color differences indicate a variety of nutrients.• Eat more non starch based vegetables over starch filled ones. This means eating more spinach, more green beans, broccoli and carrots with your meals.

The natural sugars in fruits are a good way to satisfy the sweet tooth that you have without having to consumer refined sugars that are not good for you.
