Special directions:
(Don’t be discouraged if you are loosing more inches than weight...as long as your clothes are fitting differently your body mass is changing).
-Always weigh at the same time, on the same scale for maximum accuracy (best time: in the morning after urinating).

-Check labels at grocery store- nothing with over 3 grams of processed sugar.
Don't add salt to anything

No food after dinner (no dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime)
