Diet Tip: Focus on What You Can Add
Diets often focus on what you have to eliminate: no carbs (you know that I think that is a bad idea), sugar (good to eliminate for a little bit), all food but cabbage (really bad idea). Instead of focusing on the plate being half empty, why not fill it up with foods you should be eating.
