How many calories per day?

A lot of folks ask, how much should I eat.
Well, if your eating 100% fresh fruit and veggies and fat is below 10%, the easy answer is as much as you can eat! Normally you need to count calories not to restrict, but to ensure your getting enough food. The single biggest reason people fail on a "diet" is not enough calories. Here's an online calc for determining how many calories/day you need based on base metabolism + your level of exercise. On the lower right, you'll see adjustments for losing weight if that is your goal. Consider this a MIN, if you're hungry = eat more fruits (if you're short on calc/energy) or greens (if you had a lot of cals already, but want to eat/chew more) regardless of what calcs say. As the calc recommends, do not drop below base metabolism in an effort to lose weight quicker. The result will be short term at best.

Want to Fight CANCER?

START with your food! Great news - certain common RAW foods can stop and/or suppress proliferation of cancer in the body.

Bad news = the veggies most people eat (carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, cukes*) are little to no help.

9 minutes watching this is time you can't afford not to set aside.
