Taylor Hoagland advice...
“Don't miss meals... avoid over indulging from hunger.
“Choose white meat over dark meat (which is) packed with loads of fats and calories...

“Rolls. Oh, those sweet, buttery, warm rolls... buns on the plate, buns on the body...
“Add some greens to your plate.”
Taylor's recommended portion sizes:
“Dessert: Treat yourself. To smaller portions... Fruit is a natural sweetener. And it just so happens to be extremely good for your health.“● Meats – size of your fist
“● Carbohydrates (potatoes, rice, bread) – palm of your hand
“● Vegetables – half of your plate.
“● Ideal plate proportions would be 1/3 meat, 1/3 carbs, 1/2 vegetables...
“Exercise... Just get out and be active for 30 minutes every day... DO SOMETHING... ANYTHING... OUTSIDE!”
