In an effort to adapt a healthier lifestyle, I read the Code Revolution.  Most of the book is testimonials, which gets a little old after a while.  It is not a real scientific book, however, it is easy to understand and follow.  Currently I already adapt some of these ideas.  The diet choices are based on more of a keto diet.  Here is the list:

1. Sleep 7-8 hours – sleep is so important to live well
2. Drink at least one gallon of water per day – this is very hard to do.  Her concept is water is important to flush your body, and it helps to you not be hungry.  I am not sure if I totally agree with this.  Is a half gallon good enough?  Can your drink other liquids?  I think I will try to drink more water, drop me a note if you do this.
3. Weigh yourself every morning – I used to do this in the past.  I felt like I was a slave to the scale.  Her reasoning is by weighing yourself everyday, you can correct your diet if you see a weight gain after a few consecutive days.
4. Don’t eat past 6:30pm – I do agree with this.  I do agree with intermittent fasting.  I currently try to eat only 2 meals a day.  Eating past 6:30p is sometimes hard to do, but I notice I sleep better and feel better when I do not eat in the evening.
5. Weigh, measure and log all the food you put in your mouth – this one I have tried to do in the past.  It is such a pain.  I know it can be beneficial to losing weight, but I really hate to be a slave to writing everything down.  I want a nutrition plan my body craves without having to track everything.  Life is too short to write down everything I eat.
6. Keep the junk out of your house – so true.  Make a decision not to buy junk.  Try not to bring it into your house.  The worst is if someone gifts you food.  You can always re-gift the food or bring to work.
7. Follow her food list.   I think if you just follow a few things on her avoid list, you will see results  Basically no processed food, no sugar.  Also limit the grains you eat more.  Her diet list is basically a keto diet.

I think I will try to do some of these changes in my lifestyle and see if they fit.  I am in the process of reading more nutrition books.  More reviews to come.

I have a YouTube Channel and will soon be adding more videos. Here is one I made for those times you need a quick workout after a walk.
