HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The food diary is a very good idea. You would note down any food or drink that you use, the time and the amounts. Any snacks would also be included.

You should use water as your main liquid except for your morning tea/coffee. Juices and sodas have in a lot of sugar.

Increase the use of fruits and vegetables, including one or both of these as a snack.

There are 2 main types of diet, low fat/low calorie diet and low carbohydrate diet.
You can determine which one would best suit you , information and menus on each is available online.

You do not need to exercise for 1/2 hour to hour at a time but if you have a 10 minute period during the day, use this time to exercise.

I hope this helps
