1.	Try to keep your plate looking like this: half veggies/fruits, 1/2 whole grains. In the veggie/fruit half, you can have a protein option such as beans or a soy burger.
2.	Enjoy your favorite snack foods daily, just keep your portions in check.
3.	70-80% healthy and whole food options, 20-30% can be processed and less healthy. It's all about moderation.
4.	Fish is not a vegetable. ;-)
5.	Exercise every day! Take one day a week as a day of rest, but still try to move a bit that day if you can.
6.	Read "The Kind Diet" by Alicia Silverstone and try to stick to the vegan guidelines in the book. Don't worry about the superhero part, that's too strict for this diet.
