    1 do - eat what you want in moderation
    1 don't - cut out anything entirely because it's difficult to sustain forever and it's supposed to be a lifestyle change

    do: Cut out refined white carbohydrates (as in processed sugars, white breads, white rice) and replace with whole grains
    don't: Forget to read the ingredients on the label. They're more important! don't fall for stupid weightloss gimmick products like the junk from weight watchers that's only "70 calories". Yeah, 70 calories of pure chemical experiment!

    Do: Find healthy food that you enjoy (this is lifestyle, not a form of punishment)

    Don't: think that just because you don't log something, your body is going to ignore it, too. Your body always knows ...

    Do: Log it, no matter how small! Every bite matters to your body!
    Don't: Drink your calories. It is so much easier to feel satiated when every calorie has come from real food, not a bottle.

    Do eat foods from each food group every day (carbs, protein, fruit and vege's, fats.) The healthy versions of course.
    Don't forget to drink sufficient water - 6-8cups/day + extra when exercising and on hot days. Plain water, not the stuff doctored with other ingredients.

    1. Do listen to knowledgeable people and then work out what to listen to and what not to listen too and apply it
    2.Don't expect it to be a perfect journey...none of us are perfect - lose that expection and when you fall off track you wont struggle as much

    1. Do exercise. (Not the fake I'm moving so this must be exercising. Put real effort into finding out how hard to push yourself.)
    2. Don't allow any artificial sweeteners to enter your body.
