"I Got My Move Groove Back!"

Eat outside the box.

My typical day was all convenience foods: a bagel breakfast, a fast-food lunch, Thai takeout dinners, and low-fat brownies for dessert. My dietitian, Alyse, switched me to whole foods: whole wheat toast with peanut butter, soup with a salad, and grilled chicken with a baked sweet potato. She also suggested I buy only those packaged foods with fewer than 10 ingredients, like the broccoli soup I now nuke for lunch.
