- Focus on eating more good fats, high quality protein and low glycemic fruits and vegetables
- Start your day with high quality fat and protein - add pasture raised eggs, grass fed plain yogurt, tablespoon of coconut oil to your shakes (even though these things may have more calories they are a more sustained energy source which means you will stay full longer)
- Buy sprouted nuts if you are going to eat them
- Try and add more diversity to your diet with different types of protein (always look for grass fed) and different types of greens (kale, chard, spinach, sprouts, lettuce, etc.) too much raw spinach can be hard on the body!
