Intro:
As long as your nutrition is on point 80% of the time, you’re good. Keep track of macros (carbs, fat, and protein). Calculate all the numbers for the day and make sure you’re in the right percentages for the particular diet you’re trying to follow. A good way to get your vegetables is by making green smoothies. VitaMix is a great investment and totally pulverizes them. Make your meals in bulk and have all your food for the week ready, that way it’s easy to follow the diet. Making bets will keep you from making bad choices with your diet since you don’t want to lose your money.

I’ve heard wild rice holds a lot more nutritional value than white, would that be a good substitute or is it the same as brown rice where it’s harder to digest.
What about water intake. A lot of people like to drink large amounts of water and I was taught to drink a lot of water, but recently I’ve been hearing that’s a bad idea. Something to avoid or is it no big deal?
