This sounds idiotically simple, however it's easier said than done. When we are eating either too much or not enough it takes a toll on our bodies. Especially for women. I have spent most of my life not eating properly and am just now learning that eating 3 meals a day (at least one veggie and/or fruit with each meal), low in starch and sugars and cutting down on junk foods at night makes you feel energized and alert. Cutting down on coffee and drinking at least 8 glasses of ICE COLD water per day will flush out the toxins built up and reduce water retention. It is so hard to get on the right track when you've been on the wrong one for so long, but give yourself a full week of this practice and you will find that you feel way better and less bloated. After the first week, you won't be so inclined to eat poorly and you will start to crave your daily water. I feel groggy and sick if I don't drink my water. GET GOING and GOOD LUCK ALL
