Find the biggest food difference-makers.

No diet dogma here. Almost nobody fails because they didn’t follow a long enough list — they fail because the two or three changes that would have mattered most were buried in it. Start with the levers below.

1

Refined sugar and processed carbohydrate

For most people this is the single biggest lever — especially in the evening, when the body has the least use for the fuel.

2

Real food instead of highly processed food

Fried food, seed-oil-heavy food and packaged food crowd out the things the body actually rebuilds with.

3

Alcohol

Frequency matters more than the occasional glass. It touches sleep, blood pressure, blood sugar and the liver at once.

4

Protein and minerals at each meal

Most people don't need more rules. They need meals that actually contain something to build from.

5

When you eat, not just what

A long overnight break and a light late meal do more for many people than any list of superfoods.

Improve, measure, reassess. Food changes are worth making whether or not you are on medication — and never a reason to stop a prescription on your own.
