Things like, processed sugar, pastries, fried foods(especialy deep fried), fastfood, soads, foods made with processed ingredients, like white flour,ect. These types of foods can be eaten but you shouldn't make a habit of them, rather use as treats from time to time. If it flyes, swims, or runs, it's protein. Eat that sucker, baked, boiled, broiled, steamed, panfried(very little oil), grilled, or nuked, lean cuts. If it grows above or below the ground, it's carbs & fiber, eat it as described above, but you can add raw to the list. Don't forget eggs in the protein catagory. Fats are neede to an extent also, but most Americans get plenty of that. Skim milk, but take it easy on the dairy products.

See FT’s Tips for the run down on Simple and Complex Carbohydrates. Remember your body can't absorb more than 32 carbs at one time. I may be off a little on the number but I know I'm pretty close. ~billk~

I believe that physical and mental health are closely tied, so if you eat things that affect your outlook or that you don't enjoy, you will be less apt to follow your guidelines. Personally, I do not eat whatever I want but I choose those items high in the nutrients I need that I know I will enjoy eating. The nutirtion program will definitely help you with that.

I hate to try and count calaries but it is important to watch them . I have been with EAS for a little while and they go on portion size. A portion is the size of your fist and the palm of your hand. It worked for me. You might want to check out Body for life and Hussman.com/eas. I like the program here at FT, it's more personel. They take a better intrest in your training.
