Work up to 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day, more if your day includes caffeinated beverages or alcohol. Bring a bottle of water with you as a souvenir. Many confuse thirst with hunger, if you are hungry, drink a glass of water and wait a few minutes. Physical activity and stress management are also important. Commit to 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week. Stress is a major factor in weight loss, you may not realize how much stress you carry around. It's especially important to slow down and relax when you eat. This allows for digestion and absorption of the wonderful nutrients from the real food you just ate. Yoga, breathing exercises and meditation are great tools for reducing stress! Clean eating isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle and it gets easier as you go along. Habits can be changed, you just have to work at them. Keeping a food diary and indulging in a favorite “bad” food once a week can help you stay on track. If you get off track don't be discouraged, take a moment, clear your mind and then come back
