Calories and balance: Here are the basics - women, 1600 cal, men 1800-2000 calories. You should not get more than 40% of your calories from carbohydrates. Drink your water - we are all chronically, mildly dehydrated. Regular exercise is part of the equation as well, at least 4 times per week, for 20-30 minutes. Lastly, be patient - it takes months to see effect. Good luck!

PORTION CONTROL: Portion control, moderation, variety and balance. Portion control is important- especially eating out where portion sizes have grown. Fresh fruits, vegetables, should be half of your plate. Legumes, beans, whole grains, a 1/4 plate and lean cuts of meat, fowl and fish, low fat dairy products 1/4 plate. Processed foods, high in animal saturated fats and processed sugars should be avoided.
