I'll keep it short. I follow what I call the "RDA Diet". I just use Fitday to meet targets on macro- and micronutrients based on the Recommended Daily Allowances provided by the government. But of course, RDA is based on a 2000-caloried diet, so if I am at 1500, I can accept something like 75% of RDA. (Do the math.) Here is a bullet list to summarize:

• 1500 cal/day
• Usually two meals per day. Brunch/lunch and supper.
• This means about 16 hours "fasting" per day before break-fast.
• No sugar
• No white flour
• No processed foods
• Eat foods with only one ingredient
• Ratio of potassium to sodium at 3:2
• Vitamins B (especially B12) and C every day since they are water soluble
• Vitamins A, D, E can be loaded up throughout the week
• Plenty of magnesium
• Eat fresh when possible (shop every day). Some canned meat and vegetables.
• Nice steak dinner every Sunday, but no more fast foods and rarely going out during the week.
• Eat REAL food only.
• Thanks to Jack Lalanne for guidance and inspiration. QUOTE: "It's just like putting water in a gas tank in your auto. It wouldn't run. And you're a human machine.
