I sat down on Sunday and wrote a list of topics for each of the 31 days with a heading for day 2 of "General Rules". After that I jotted down:
- cut out / cut down on bad stuff
- lots of fruit and veg
- good drinks
- replace the bad stuff with good stuff
- eat breakfast every morning, no exceptions
- consume a variety of natural fresh foods each day
- eat lean protein at least 3 times daily, including breakfast (not so good at including protein in my breakfast, apart from milk or yoghurt)
- eat at least 9 servings or handfuls of produce daily
- do not eat white flour, white rice, potatoes and sweets (I don't stick to this absolutely - I still eat potatoes, but rarely any of the others)
- avoid processed foods containing high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated fats or saturated fats (I mostly did this before anyway, except that I do eat butter and higher fat cheese in modest quantities)
- drink at least 2 cups of tea daily, preferably green tea
- drink a moderate amount of alcohol, ideally a glass a day of red wine
- avoid sugary drinks, fruit juices and diet drinks
- drink plenty of water

The eating breakfast every morning was one I struggled with for YEARS but have just about got it sorted now.
Don't do tea tho' and struggle with the white flour/potatoes - we get a lot of potatoes in our veggie box.
Interesting list - looking forward to the rest of the posts.
