This is the first of my series on healthy eating and I am looking forward to sharing lots of tips and recipes. There are so many things when it comes to weight loss or being healthy and sometimes that can be overwhelming. Breaking it down into smaller pieces can really help you to achieve big goals. If you goal is to lose 50 pounds, it can seem daunting. Working out, cardio, eating better – so many things and that is why many people fail when it comes to their health.

Changing your diet can be time consuming in the beginning as you try to make these major modifications and I watch people daily struggle with the information overload. Carbs, protein, supplements, vegetables, calories — oh where to start? So start RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU ARE NOW…..

1 – Keep a food journal this week of everything you eat. Of course try to make good choices but really focus on recording everything you put in your mouth. (be sure to include all beverages, gum, candy, samples — everything that goes into your mouth)

2 – Drink 8 glasses of water each and every day.

That’s it — This will give you a benchmark for where you are with your food diary and will hydrate your body with the water. These are also things you can do. Once you accomplish those for the week, you can move on to other small goals next week. Yes, it is not as thorough as a total life change but it is also something that can actually be accomplished and if you continue this, these little things will become lifestyle habits.

It also gives you headaches and forces your organs to work harder. You can solve this by drinking some water. 20,000 Egyptians died in the 1967 war with Israel not from battle — from DEHYDRATION
