Eat the same, eat whatever you crave. Eat junk if you insist but give an occasional serving of fruits and/or vegetables a chance.

Don't ever read the ingredients unless you're deathly allergic to something.

Alcohol is poison, but as long as you recognize that, proceed however the hell you want.

Get a chair that makes you uncomfortable. Sit up straight, move around, take a walk around the block, try moving to music (dancing) whatever you want in private. You'll sleep better, think better, live better as a result. The weight will fall into the range you are ultimately comfortable with. Don't fight yourself.

Water is wonderful, all-the-time.



This is mostly terrible advice. Being aware nutrition and ingredients in the foods you consume is very important. Dont accidentally eat 40% of your daily sugar intake because you were craving a powerade.


For sure. We live in an age where foods are engineered to maximize repeat purchase. In our evolutionary history, the main way to get concentrated sugar was to try to take it away from bees. If candy bars were similarly guarded at the convenience store, you can bet that people's consumption of it would be much closer to the recommended level.


The only way to make it without ever reading the labels is to only cook everything from scratch. Else you'll think that eating granola bars every day is good for you, or simply think that hot pockets are normal food.
