Most of the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals we need should come from the food we eat. Although, each person is an individual, therefore the individual needs of each person should be addressed when going through the diet.

Then things simple to digest such as oatmeal. Fruit and yogurt or anything else is best left out of the fridge for a little while so it is not physically so cold, this shocks the digestion. Lunch should be a small high protein meal to trigger a rise in dopamine. Too many carbs will release serotonin and make you sleepy. Supper should include your favorite carbs, this is the proper time to wind down and get sleepy. Try not to eat within 3-4 hours of bedtime. You should sleep better and not retain unwanted calories.
