Many followers ask me to tell them what exactly I eat every day. This is an
average day’s food intake, when I’m at home:
Breakfast
I fill a large container with my favorite high-fiber breakfast cereals, such as
Cheerios, Bran Flakes, or All-Bran Buds, plus dried cranberries or raisins, walnuts,
or sunflower seeds, enough for two weeks. I shake it up and eat about one cup
with half of a sliced banana and 1 cup of 1 percent milk.
Coffee with 1 percent milk and one packet of artificial sweetener
Snack
Half a cup of yogurt
1 apple
1 cup of black tea with 1 percent milk and 1 packet of artificial sweetener
Lunch
1 cup of homemade bean and vegetable soup
One hour later
2 slices of whole wheat bread, 2 teaspoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of peanut
butter, and lettuce
1 diet soda
One hour later
1 orange
Snack
Café latte with 1 percent milk and 1 packet of artificial sweetener
1 tablespoon of nuts
