50% of each meal should be vegetables. Draw an imaginary line down the center of your plate and fill half of it with vegetables. Excellent vegetables include broccoli, collard greens, kale, tomatoes, onions, garlic, carrots and many more.
Do not count fruit as your vegetable serving. Eat fruit throughout the day as a snack.
Lean Meat Equals 1/4 of Your Plate
Twenty five percent of each meal should be a lean meat such as turkey or chicken. If you are vegetarian you may also want to consider tofu or beans and rice as your meat selection.
It is important to get plenty of lean protein each day. Try to avoid fried meats, salami, pepperoni, hamburger and other processed meats or meats that are high in fat.
Whole Grains Equal 1/4 of Your Plate
Twenty five percent of your plate should be a whole grain or starch such as brown rice, whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, steel cut oats, sweet potato or potato.
Do not eat white breads, overly processed grains, instant oats or white rice. They are overly processed and do not provide the nutritional value that you will need.

How to Feed Pills To Your Dog
There is nothing worse than having a sick animal. When your pet is ill, all you want to do is make it better, but how can you get your dog to take pills that the vet prescribed? The easiest way is to give it to them in food that they really enjoy.
Be careful because with some types of food the medicine can fall out and end up on the ground. Make sure that your dog actually consumed the medicine.
Always give your dog the exact amount of medicine prescribed by the doctor at the correct time each day.
Peanut Butter
It is very easy to take a glob of peanut butter on your finger and then push the pill for your dog into the glob.
Stick your finger into your dogs mouth and scrape the glob of peanut butter off onto their teeth. The dog with take a few moments to suck down the tasty treat along with their prescribed medicine.
Egg or Meat
It is also easy to hide a pill for a dog in a cooked egg yolk or a chunk of meat such as hot dog.
They will gobble it down quickly, so look on the ground to see if the pill fell out.
This is a fast and easy way to give your pet the medicine that they need. It works almost 100% of the time.
Make sure the food item you use to feed them their medicine is something that they love.
The Food is the Medicine
My mom had a dog that was hit by a car. The vet said she would never walk again.
After she was healed, my mom would buy her a McDonald's hamburger every day. She would place the McDonald's hamburger a few feet away so that the dog would be forced to get up and walk a step or too.
It took weeks to get her walking again but it finally worked. The McDonald's hamburger was just what she needed to get the motivation to get up and force her legs to work.
Be careful because with some types of food the medicine can fall out and end up on the ground. Make sure that your dog actually consumed the medicine.

The Food is the Medicine
My mom had a dog that was hit by a car. The vet said she would never walk again.
After she was healed, my mom would buy her a McDonald's hamburger every day. She would place the McDonald's hamburger a few feet away so that the dog would be forced to get up and walk a step or too.
It took weeks to get her walking again but it finally worked. The McDonald's hamburger was just what she needed to get the motivation to get up and force her legs to work.

How to Get Foreclosure Listings
Knowing how to get foreclosure listings can help you to find excellent investment properties. Good realtors, auctions and the internet make it easy for everyone to find foreclosures these days. Distressed real estate is becoming more and more affordable.
FIND A REAL ESTATE AGENT - If you are looking for foreclosure listings, try finding a good real estate agent. A good realtor can print you out a list of the current foreclosures in the area that you are looking at. They can find the history of the property and let you know the best process to go about purchasing one. A real estate agent can be very helpful when you are buying or selling property and when you are researching foreclosure listings. Make sure your agent is someone that you are comfortable with because you will end up spending a great deal of time with them. Ask friends for a reference if you do not know any real estate agents yourself.
BANKS - Go directly to the banks that own real estate foreclosures. Many times you will find the best deal on a foreclosure by dealing directly with the bank that owns the foreclosure. Some banks have their foreclosure listings online, otherwise you can just call the banks directly and ask for the person in charge of REO's.
AUCTIONS - Attend a foreclosure auction. They are available throughout the country. Some auctions are online and some auctions can be attended in person. Make sure you follow all of the rules and instructions of the auction you are attending. Each auction is different. Most auctions give out the foreclosure listings weeks ahead of time to give you time to research the properties and sometimes even view them ahead of time. Make sure that you do your due diligence and thoroughly investigate and research any property before you purchase it. You do not want any surprises when it comes to real estate.
INTERNET - Find foreclosure listings on the internet. There are many sites that gather foreclosure information and pass it along, usually for a fee. It is convenient to access the information on the internet, but it may not be worth the fee, depending on how much the fee is. The internet can be useful when searching for information on foreclosures and mapping out where they are located. You can also find histories of properties on the internet.

How to Find Real Estate Careers
Knowing how to find real estate careers can pull you through down times in the economy. This is an excellent time to be in real estate or to get started in real estate. Things are still moving and houses are still being bought and sold. Someone needs to do all of the paperwork, why not you?
STUDY - Study for your real estate career. To be a real estate agent, you will first need to become qualified. This will require studying and then taking a test to become an agent. Once you become an agent, you will need to work for a broker. You must have your license with a broker unless you are a broker yourself. Study using online training sites to help you to become familiar with the industry. You can take classes that are required online or at your local community college. You can get started as a real estate agent with just some of your classes finished. You can then finish the rest of your classes while you are training on the job.
REAL ESTATE BROKERS - Look for a real estate broker in your area that you are comfortable with. You will need to work under a broker. Normally brokers allow you to work certain hours answering the phone and taking any leads that you find through those calls. You will only be paid if you complete a sales transaction. You will be given a percentage of the sale. The normal real estate contract gives each agent 3% of the sale of the property. However, since you are working with a broker, you may need to give the broker up to 50% percent of that amount. So you will actually make about 1.5% of the sale at first. As you become more successful, the rate you make will increase with the broker.
MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE - Make sure that you are available anytime that your clients need you. Real estate agents that are available are the ones that get work. Spend as much time as you possibly can at the office answering calls. Be nice, friendly and helpful to everyone.

How to Protect Your Identity from Theft
Knowing how to protect yourself from identity theft can save you time, money and avoid a huge hassle. Identity thieves can steal your information right out of your own garbage can or over the internet. Everyone needs to be aware of identity theft and do at least the minimum amount to protect themselves.
CUT UP INFORMATION - Completely destroy private information before you put it in the trash can. It is best if you can put it through the shredder or burn it in your fireplace or burn barrel. Review everything that you wish to throw out and make sure that you completely destroy it if it has your social security number, credit card numbers, mortgage account numbers or other information that should not be given out. You can keep all paperwork that has identifying information on it in a separate trash can, so that when you have time you can shred it or burn it all at one time. Once your trash can goes to the curb it becomes part of the public domain. Anyone can legally take things out of your trash.

How to Retire Overseas Comfortably
Knowing how to retire overseas comfortably can save you thousands of dollars. There are many exotic and beautiful locations throughout the world that you can retire in for much less money than in the United States of America. Many locations will not even require you to learn a foreign language because English is spoken everywhere.
RESEARCH EARLY ON - Begin researching possible locations as soon as possible. You will want to know everything about a location before you purchase land and/or move there. There are so many locations around the world, you will need to decide what you are looking for in a retirement destination. Beach or winter wonderland? Big city or cabin in the woods? Whatever you think you are looking for it is best to research it thoroughly and then test it out. Take a month long vacation at your top retirement destination choice. A month will give you a good look at reality at your destination.
OTHER AMERICANS - Find out where other Americans are living in large numbers. You may be more comfortable retiring overseas if the path has already been blazed for you. If there are other Americans retiring in the area, it just may be to your benefit. There are Americans all over the world, so you will most likely be able to find help and guidance any where that you choose to go.
You will easily be able to find out how to purchase land and all citizenship requirements. Some countries may not allow you to purchase land directly. You may have to start a company in that country and buy land under the company's name. Each country will have it's own requirements.
DON'T OVER BUY - Buy a property that is only what you need at first. If it turns out that the location is not what you expected at least you did not invest too much in it. You may be able to sell and try your second retirement destination. Hopefully that will not happen, but this is your retirement and to be safe, you do need to plan for the worst and hope for the best.
If you love the area and want to stay, you will be able to find the right property at the right price after you have lived there for awhile. You will also have a better idea of the location that is best for you.
