Focus on what you eat. Small portions of lean protein sources (meat, fish, poultry, dairy, protein supplements), complemented with veggies, fruit and whole grains. Preparing foods at home puts you in control of what you eat. If you choose foods with the least processing, you’ll avoid added fat, salt, sugar, preservatives and additives that are prevalent in processed foods. Preparing fresh wholesome foods may be a big change, but one that is worth the extra effort. You may want to work on one meal/snack at a time and then expand until you’ve upgraded your entire day.
