Chapter 5: Strategic EatingChapter 5: Strategic Eating Of course, you need to find a way to integrate this program into your lifestyle that works for you. Do not stress too much about finding the “perfect” diet; the level of detail is presented here for those who wish to optimize their meals for maximum results. General guidelines for choosing foods:  Fibrous vegetables are always great choices; fresh fruits, whole grains, and beans are also good choices, especially on high carb days; heavily processed starches and sugars are the worst choices. If you are confused about which foods are best, just eat unprocessed, natural foods; focus on vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and natural fats and you'll probably be fine! The calorie guidelines are presented as an optimization, and you will do just fine without counting calories if you focus on whole, unrefined, natural foods. The best time to avoid junk food is at the grocery store: if you don't have it around the house, you won't eat it! It's much harder psychologically to not eat it the bad stuff when it is sitting on the shelf...if you are living with others, and they are on board with your desire to get healthy, have them put the “bad' foods out of sight, perhaps in a cabinet that you can avoid.
