When losing weight and becoming healthy it is important to cut back on you meat. You should eat very little to no meat. I choose to eat meat about 2 times a week, however if you decide not to eat any meat make sure you take a B12 vitamin.

Recipe:
For 2 adults & 1-2 kids

Ingredients:
Salt free chips or whole wheat soft tacos
1 cup beans
2 tomatoes
6 green onions
1/2-1/4 onion
3 leaves romaine lettuce
Garlic Seasoning

Cook the beans like the package says or buy some from a can, make sure you get salt free. If you cook the beans from a bag wash them then soak in water overnight. After cooking the beans mash them to make a paste which you will put on the bottom of the plate. Blanch 2 tomatoes then cut the tomatoes, onions, green onions, and romaine lettuce into small pieces. Put the tomatoes on top of the beans then add everything else. Last sprinkle garlic seasoning over-top everything.

You can add or change around ingredients to your taste. For example add mushrooms, green or red peppers, garlic, and black olives.

Use your chips to eat the dish, or wrap everything up in a whole wheat soft taco shell. Make sure you pick no salt chips or "whole wheat" soft tacos.

The first step in a healthier you and to lose weight is to cut out all the sugar drinks. That means no more soda, kool-aid, and fruit juices full of sugar. Here is a picture of what I drink now! I filter my water and keep it cold for drinking all day, and when I want to change things up I add fresh squeezed lemons! The lemon water is a very healthy drink because it pulls the toxins out of your body.

You can also drink lots of flavored teas as shown in the picture. I warm my water up in a coffee pot so I can avoid the microwave. The most important thing to remember is never to add sugar, if you need something sweet add honey. When buying honey make sure you look at the ingredients. The only ingredient should be honey... nothing else. It is best to get local honey that has not been heat sealed, which will also help your allergies.

If you can't have honey add "Raw Agave Nectar" instead.
