- Order beverages such as water, diet soda, coffee, tea, unsweetened iced tea.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Choices.... You can choose your choices, but you cannot choose the consequences of your choices. The thing about our choices is....after we have made them, they turn around and make us. Make smart choices and remember...every food choice you make will either get you closer to, or farther away from your fitness goals. | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | If your results are minimal and you don't seem to be progressing as fast as you would like, ask yourself these questions:- Am I eating correctly?
To get the fastest, best results possible, you must make sure that you are following the Nutrition Plan exactly the way it was designed. If you are missing meals or eating foods that are not authorized, your results will suffer. Refer to the authorized food list and eating examples often to make absolutely sure you are eating the right foods at the right time.
- Am I exercising to the best of my ability?
Exercise is an important part of your success. Unfortunately, the weight isn't going to fall off just because you are exercising. Losing body fat is difficult and it requires consistency and persistence with resistance training and cardiovascular training. Most people are reluctant to push themselves out of their comfort zone, but that's what it takes to get the best results.
- Am I talking myself out of success?
Frequent repetition of thoughts is one of the most certain ways to penetrate the subconscious mind. If you program your subconscious with negative suggestions often enough, your subconscious will lead you right into cheating on your diet, skipping workouts or some other form of self sabotage. Think positive thoughts and picture yourself succeeding! Positive thinking and visualization are powerful!
