Before biggest loser I had 3 food rules:
1.What make a good thing better:: Add bacon!
2.What makes a good thing better:: Add cheese!!
3.What make a good thing better:: Deep Fry it!!
My 15 new food rules after Biggest Loser:
These are the rules I followed to lose 108 Pounds!! I never broke one rule or had a single cheat! With discipline you can do it to and get amazing results!! I have been told that 80 percent is diet, 10 percent exercise, and 10 percent genetics! I believe it, you can totally win this battle by controlling what you put in your mouth! I feel so good about life and the physical changes I have made, and the way it has positively effected my family. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing it feels to feed them right! I want you to feel it too!!!! To know the true joy of it like I do!! Decide to eat healthy! Come along with me and truly live your life for the first time! I am so glad it did! You will never regret it!! Start making powerful eating choices right now, do what you can, follow the rules you can RIGHT NOW, then add more as you can!
1. Eat 5 or 6 small meals everyday. 150-350 calories at a time! Never exceeding your calorie budget for the day!
2. Eat every 2 to 3 hours.
3. Food Pair:: Always eat a lean protein and a complex carb at every meal.
4. Drink your water!! 3-4 liters a day! I only drink water, hot tea and black coffee.
5. Never skip a meal, especially breakfast.
6. Carry a cooler loaded with your food for the day. Never get stuck! NO EXCUSES!!! (I will post about My Box soon!!)
7. Avoid ALL over processed, refined foods…especially white flour and sugar!
8. Eat healthy fats! you need fat! No saturated or trans fats.
9. NO alcohol….it is sugar!
10. Just STAY AWAY from calorie packed foods that have no nutritional value! Do NOT even open the door!! DON’T EVEN TASTE!!!!!!
11. Eat lots and LOTS of vegetables and fruits!
12. ALWAYS measure your portion sizes! don’t guess, you only cheat yourself!
13. If you put it in your mouth track it! I am all about the calorie counting!! Food Journal. I use my FitnessPal.
14. Eat breads and Starches at beginning of the day, NONE after lunch!
15. NEVER ever eat after 7:30 pm!! Close down the kitchen….if it becomes a battle, JUST GO TO BED!!
Clean out you kitchen!! Make your home a safe place with ONLY healthy food choices. You will be amazed at the effect it will have on your entire family!! We are feeling stronger than ever! Join us……You will be glad you did!!!

Hi Lisa! Just had a question from your food rules. What kind of complex carbs do you have after noon? Is Ezekiel bread considered a complex carb? Thanks!
Thank you so much Lisa for the great advice I will follow it as strictly as I can.
you said you use Fitness Pal is that the app you have for your phone? I have the same app but no friends on it it’s hard to get support would you be able to add me as a friend on there do you think?
again thank you so much for the advice I hope you’re doing well and I wish you and your family the best
Love the pictures! You are so inspiring and definitely helping me out on my journey! Thanks, Lisa.

Lisa, can you talk about how the adjustment was for your kids? How did you coach them through this? What do you give them for snacks? That seems like the hardest thing for them. I can talk myself into more fruits/veggies, how do you get them excited about the changes?
Wi do!!!
There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made certain nice points in features also.
