Answer: - Do NOT eat junk food (candy, chips, pop, sugary cereal & drinks, etc), fried food, pre-packaged "food-like substances" (Easy Mac, TV dinners, etc)
- DO eat all fruits & vegs (apples, pears, green beans, red peppers, salad, mushrooms, etc), WHOLE grains (brown rice, wild rice, whole wheat breads, etc), lean protein (nuts and beans, if you eat meat, chicken, fish, and turkey)
- Having block cheese (instead of the single-packaged Kraft types), cottage cheese, and plain organic yogurt is good too. You can sweeten the yogurt with agave syrup, pure maple syrup, or fruit

Eat at regularly scheduled times. Eat LESS. Drink tons of water to keep you more full, keep your system working smoothly, and flush out toxins.
Exercise….this doesn’t have to mean going to a gym. Going on fast-paced walks for half an hour in your neighborhood before school is good enough. Or you can do sports, go on hikes, walk around the mall, walk your dog, etc.
Good luck!!! Being healthy is challenging but it is worth it!!!!
