4. Eliminate certain foods — don’t restrict calories. It’s better to focus on the kind of foods to eliminate rather than how much to cut. Begin by cutting back on anything that’s processed. If it’s a food you don’t recognize or it’s made with more than five ingredients, you shouldn’t eat it.
5. Limit your fruit intake. Watch out for fruits! They are nutrient-dense but the sugar is something you should focus on cutting back during these 30 days. Think of berries when consuming fruits and limit fruit to two servings a day.
6. Create a well-balanced plate. When planning your meals, you want to make sure you always have a protein option, a healthy fat and plenty of non-starchy vegetables. Avoid fat-free items as they aren’t providing you with the nourishment your body needs!
So there you have it. It won’t be easy, but it isn’t impossible! Keep in mind that if it weren’t difficult, everyone would do it. Give it a try; you have nothing to lose (except 10 pounds)!
