A member asked:

Can you guide on having a balanced diet and the good habits?

Moderation is the key: A low carb diet, lots of non-starchy fruits and vegetables, lean protein and healthy oils (olive and coconut). Avoid sweets and processed foods as much as possible. Keep your body moving with regular exercise like walking, jogging, swimming or gym workouts. Try to do everything in moderation, extreme measures are usually not balanced and impossible to sustain long term.
