I have similar advice. I seem to be doing ok with nutrition. Anyone can always improve how they are doing so this is always a relative topic.

I would say, when trying to get it started it's important to keep it simple. Just don't buy junk food when you are at the store. Buy whatever vegetables or fruits seem to be appealing to you. If none do, just try some. Try to stick to the outside of the super market. The isles in the middle of the store have mostly processed packaged food.

Every meal try to pack in protein. Lean protein sources: eggs, turkey, fish, chicken, peanut butter, nuts (giggidy), seeds. Obviously not all at once, but take your pick.

The thing is, when you get hungry, you will eat what is in your house. If you have junk in your house, you will eat it. If you buy mostly fresh veggies and fruits, lean protein, goods with whole grain, dairy etc then that is what you will eat.

Keep it simple. Also, I agree with the advice of mainly drinking water. Careful with juice, it has just as much if not more sugar than soda. That can be very misleading.

Good luck and check back in with us as you progress!
