Below is my daily diet. I'd like to state that it does vary a bit, especially right before a photo shoot I make sure I am extremely strict and I don't cheat. Here are a few good Nutri-Tips that I've learned along the way in the process to stay lean.

* Drink a gallon of water per day. Extra water consumption is necessary if you intensify cardio workouts.

* Read all labels on packaged foods. But the key is…if it's packaged, there are preservatives and junk you don't want to consume. Learn how to read food labels!

* Stick with organic whole foods.

* Stay away from bleached bread, salt, complex carbohydrates such as pasta/bread, refined sugars, flour, hydrogenated oils, butter, processed foods, excessive alcohol, coffee etc…

* Take a daily multi-vitamin. Make sure there are no synthetic fillers.

* Try to eat a high protein/fiber diet with low simple carbohydrates.

* Drink herbal teas. They help aid digestion, especially mint.

* Make sure you do research on any supplements you consume & the brands are dependable.

* Every once in a while detoxify with cleansing teas. Take a daily anti-oxidant because of our environment and it's daily pollutions.

* Nutritional support is important for the complex operation of the body.

* Nutrients are essential for the feeding of tissues of the body and are necessary to sustain intricate functions as it constantly reproduces new cells. Do your body good!
