Rules:

1. No fried foods (Keep your eyes on the prize when you choose those sides! Choose a baked potatoes or salad.

2. Chill just get it grilled!

3. Proteins: the less legs the better! Being that fish has no legs, it would be the best choice. Next better to not a good: chicken, turkey, pork, beef, steak...

4. Take off the skin on your meats!

5. No mayo or special sauces hun.

6. Your beverage of choice should be water.
