* Eat a colorful variety of plants to ensure you're getting the best nutrients for your body, which leads to feeling satiated
Real food

* Eliminate the consumption of refined, highly processed foods and foods void of nutrients, such as artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, sweeteners and hydrogenated fats
Low fat

* Minimize extracted oils and processed fats
* If eating a diet that includes animal products, choose leaner meats and seafood as well as low-fat dairy products
Nutrient dense
