COST-EFFECTIVENESS: It is cheap and easy to buy regular or decaf green tea in bulk. I buy it online in bulk each month and the cost comes to $0.08 per bag—including shipping and handling. That is less than a dollar a day to get all the benefits green tea has to offer.

Also keep in mind that there is a big difference between drinking tea for enjoyment and drinking green tea for health. Tea is like wine. Just as there is $5 wine and $500 wine, there is $0.08 green tea and $8.00 green tea. If you already enjoy more expensive tea, keep it up and add drinking at least ten bags of less expensive green tea to your day.

If you don’t enjoy hot tea, add ice and drink it cold. If you prefer not to drink caffeine, try decaf. If you don’t want to stain your teeth, drink it through a straw. If you don’t like the taste, drink it with something SANE you do like, such as a green smoothie. And stick to sipping green tea instead of swallowing green tea supplements. Studies show that most green tea supplements are not as good for us as natural green tea.

If you are interested in optimizing green tea’s health benefits, studies suggest that you would be best served blending matcha green tea with a peeled lemon and water for two minutes (or until the lemon is completely liquefied).

Finally, drinking more water and green tea makes it easier to avoid sugary beverages. If it is not water, green tea, or something else calorie free—e.g., coffee without cream or sugar—or something you personally blended from SANE foods, drinking it will raise your set-point fast and furiously.

PRINCIPLE 10: FORGET PERFECTION. COMMIT PUBLICLY. GET SUPPORT.

It is reasonable to reach this point and say, “I can’t do all of that” or “I don’t want to do all of that.” No problem. This isn’t about being perfect. In fact, pursuing nutritional perfection is stressful, is bad for your health, and is called orthorexia (orthos = correct or right, orexis = appetite). Avoid becoming orthorexic. Focus on getting the big things right most of the time. Arm yourself with the information necessary to look and feel good and apply as much or as little of it as you like depending on how much body fat you want to lose and how much better you want to feel.

What most people find is that they start doing the basics outlined here, love the results, and then want to go further. Again, SANE eating favors practicality over perfection and you can burn as little or as much body fat as you want to. Want to burn up to two pounds of body fat per week? Eat so much SANE food that you are too full for inSANE food and exercise smarter. Have more modest goals? Eat less SANE food and some inSANE food.
