Controlling the food you eat can also be difficult. Again, start off with simple eating ideas. Don't start counting every protein gram you take in or how many calories you are eating. Eat a variety of foods from each of the four food groups every day. Watch your serving sizes (3oz or 90 grams of meat is the size of a deck of cards). Once you are able to stay in control of the food you eat and avoid desserts and fattening foods, you will be in a better position to further develop your diet.
