Also..(odd one) make sure you arent eating Doritos. Free bag the other day at the store but all Doritos are FULL of MSG big time. And that WILL fuck you up. Really you should cook your own meats, potaotes, carbs yourself. No fast food or very little.
The big three carbs:
Oatmeal (which i just stared getting into - GREAT 4 ya!) I cook it in the micro 4 servings at a time mostly with milk but you can use a combo of water of course.
Potaotes. Get out the peeler. You can measure your health by how often you use the peeler.
Brown rice. Mahatma is a good brand.
Bread: No white. Except maybe in buns only.
And cook all your meats, beef, chicken, fish from scratch. You should not get that much heartburn if you dont use too much oil or butter, Smart Balance ect.
Veg. Fresh or frozen. Avoid iceberg lettuce. Takes too much dressing (for what it gives back in vites) plus it is like those mini carrots and Dole strawberries, geneticly modified to be crap now days. More expensive leaf lettuces are great tho. Of course you got to watch the dressings.
Keep it basic. Cheapest foods are best for you if you dont mind cooking like a mad man every other day hehe
