Tips From the Trenches

1. Aggressively get rid of the brainwashing about "Good Carbs" and "Bad Fats". 2. Choose Virta friendly refuge foods(c) that you really like and have them on hand, always. 3. Plan, plan, plan and then replan so you're never caught without something delicious and Virta friendly to eat.

I think it is so important to forget the past ways of thinking food had to be fat free always..LOOSE THE FAT N GREASE. We now with virta need the allotted fats with each meal. Fat is one of the needed macros to help turn your body into a fat burning machine. 😀

Use a food tracking app. It’s not required but it definitely makes it easier to be sure you’re not over doing any of the macros. Some suggestions: Carb Manager, Fat Secret, My Fitness Pal

Don’t compare your progress with others. Run your own race!

Keep your meals simple. Prep if at all possible. Be prepared for "emergency" food situations, for example, have something on hand to cook quickly in a pinch.
