20. Making Small Changes, Your Key To Success
You don’t have to have to completely change your diet today, but the
key to make slow, small changes. I attempted to make one huge change
in diet at one time and quickly realized there are all sorts of habits I
need to learn to reap the benefits of this diet. Here are a few
suggestions you can use to implement these changes…
Change one meal at a time. Instead of changing every meal, start with
an all raw fruit breakfast or just have a big salad for dinner.
Add fruit or salad to every meal. Going out to eat? Start with a salad.
Want desert? Eat some fruit. Eating as much fruit as you care for will
leave you finishing every meal feeling statisifed.
Purpose of selecting this topic is to introduce about medicinal value
of fruit.
