Eat Food.
Not too much.
Mostly plants.

The not too much is the hardest rule. I’m not a vegetarian or vegan, but we have several vegetarian meals every week. Meats are generally small servings. I eat fruit. Good fat, good dairy, small amounts. Rarely anything processed. Red wine, in moderation. No sodas of any kind, but I love sparkling water. Good coffee. I stay away from refined grain and eat whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, wild rice. Potatoes occasionally, but not everyday. Desserts are special occasions.

The biggest thing for me, is to keep it varied and interesting.
