Get In Shape!

So you ate too much for Thanksgiving yesterday. Not to fear. Getting in shape is 80% diet, 15% mental (persistence), and 5% exercise.

Some good general guidelines:

1. Eat lots of meat!
Up to 80% of our ancestors' caloric intake was by way of animal meats & fats. 

2. Ditch the carbs!
Specifically grains (wheat, corn, etc.), starchy (potato), and processed sugar.

3. Dairy if you can.
Don't do it if you are lactose-intolerant.

4. Fat is good!
See point #1

5. Water, coffee, tea as drinks.
No sugar. Milk / cream OK if you are not lactose-intolerant

6. Walk a bit.
30 minutes a day, 5 days a week as a minimum.

7. Lift something heavy.
Don't overdo it, but weekly / biweekly is good.

8. Vitamin D!
Get out in the sun when you can, and take supplements when you must.
Vitamin C is good too as a daily supplement.

9. Single-ingredient foods are best.

10. Cheat one day a week.
Or once every 5 days.
