Sydney Greene, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a private practice in Manhattan, shared healthy eating tips and her favorite recipes.

Get Back To Basics Tips:

Water – Consume Half Your Body Weight In Ounces
Example if you weigh 180# you need 90 ounces of water. Add a lemon or not, just
start drinking it.
Vegetables – At Least 2 Colors Per Day (1 fist size amount of each)
Example green (spinach) & red (beets) — eat your veggies raw or cooked, it doesn’t
matter unless you are prone to bloating/gas, then opt for cooked vegetables.
Sugar – Know How To Spot It
- 75% of packaged foods contain added sugars, sugars that have been added to the food during processing. 4 grams of sugar = 1 packet or 1 teaspoon of sugar. Keep total grams of added sugar to less than 26 grams per day. For snacks, make sure the grams
  of protein is higher than grams of sugar.
