starting anything. If you’re in the clear, I would recommend the following: 1 If you get absolutely no exercise, walk for 15 minutes per day and gradually increase the pace and distance/time. You’ll be surprised how walking can dramatically improve your health in as little as 30 days. 2 Cut the sugar, gradually. If you drink 10 sodas per day, replace 5 with water. Each day try to do better, until you’re drinking water all the time. 3 Replace white carbohydrates with brown. If you have white potatoes, white pasta, and white rice with dinner, change it to sweet potatoes, whole grain pasta and brown rice. White carbohydrates process in the body as sugar so you’ll need to avoid it. 4 More lean protein and veggies. Keeps your fuller, longer. 5 Breakfast. You must eat breakfast daily. 6 Increase your fiber intake. 7 Research the way food affects the body. 8 Keep yourself on the list because you matter. 9 If you stumble and fall, get back up again, dust your shoulders off and continue to press forward because you’re worth it. 10 Silence the noise, hush the inner critic and remember distraction takes down the distracted. If you make these changes and improve daily, you’ll notice a difference in how you feel and how you look. Do this for 3 months straight, then return to the doctor and have those tests done again and there should be some glorious changes on the horizon just with the baby steps referenced above.
