Well as you probably know , you should be walking everyday . Now , as far as my meals . The first month or so , I stayed on the liquid diet . After that I started on boiled vegetables . Along with my shakes . 4 month , I started on the cheese and dairy and meats like broiled chicken or broiled steaks I would eat my Protein first 1/2 ounce then I was full . I was told not to by others but , I did anyways . For the first couple of months I would only eat 1/4 cup each meal . Water 45 min before and 45 to an hour after each meal . I usually drink gator aid . Just to stay hydrated . 6 months after I noticed that my meal size went to 1/2 cup of food . I ate anything with the exception of bread or soda . I noticed that , i have a taste for dry fruit and nuts . i usually keep a jar that i mixed (from walmart) of fruit and nuts like almonds and pistachios . little cashews just to snack if i became hungry in between meals .Stay focused on eating 3 meals per day So that it becomes a habit . Now , my meal size is almost a cup of food . I take my measuring cup everywhere I go . That is my tool . ( get to know your measuring cups) it may look funny or strange to some but I careless what they think . As long as I eat the right portion of what I'm suppose too its all good .
