what not to eat

1. i have been tracking my weight and body fat every day. i learned a very important lesson. if you're trying to lose weight, do NOT eat BEEF or a lot of meat. :( now, i have cleanse all the meat from my system this week. x_X

2. salad is the greatest thing for diets and summer time! i could eat it for lunch and dinner. make sure the salad dressing is low in fat and you don't top your salad with a lot of high calorie items like cheese, too many nuts, etc...

3. avoid high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), white bread/rice/carbs, & excessive sweets like the plague! if you have a major sugar craving, have a japanese candy which contains corn syrup and more "pure" ingredients than u.s. candies. bad u.s.!

4. chew gum if you have a major sweet tooth! the new extra gum flavors are good! we like the watermelon (has a hint of mint) and berry/pear flavors
