Q: If you're really interested in becoming a nudist, then you can join a community of people who are also interested in maintaining their rights to be nude and to practice nudism safely. If you're in the USA or Canada, you can join TNS (The Naturist Society), AANR (American Association for Nude Recreation), or FCN (Federation of Canadian Naturists) for example. Most countries have a national nudist or naturist organization. A Google search will find them for you. These organizations will help you find health clubs, private residences, beaches, or other locations where you can safely practice nudism. Joining the community will also make you feel less isolated about your beliefs and will help you meet more like-minded people. Though most nudists are focused on being free and communing with nature, there are some communities that encourage nudism for sexual reasons. If this is not for you, be very careful in your research. Don't trust unofficial websites. You don't have to be a card-carrying member of a nudist colony to find a nudist beach or a nudist resort in your area. If you can just find a place that fits your ideas of accepting yourself and respecting your own individuality, then you'll be set in finding more places to practice nudism and to meet more like-minded people. If you practice nudism with your family, make sure that family members of all ages are welcome in the nudist beach or resort area. In recent years, the "nakation" has become more popular than ever. A lot of people aren't necessarily comfortable with being naked in the place where they live, though they love the idea of going to an entirely new country or city to practice nudism. You can branch out of your comfort zone by finding resorts that are "nude only" and spending a week enjoying the nudist lifestyle. You can check out ordinary vacation websites and search for "nudist spa vacations" to find a resort that is perfect for you, or you can use specialty websites that can help you find the perfect nudist destination. Some people are opposed to practicing nudism in public in a place near their home because they're afraid of running into someone they know. If you're hundreds of miles from home, this worry will melt away! Though you should make sure that you don't offend an unsuspecting hiker or neighbor with your nudism, if you can find some quiet and secluded spots to be nude in public, this can help you practice your nudism. This can involve skinny-dipping in an isolated lake, camping in a remote location and practicing nudism there (if it's allowed), or practicing your nudism in a remote farmhouse or another secluded location. In 1997, women in Canada won the legal right to be topless in public as long as it isn't meant to be a sexual display. In addition, you can't be prosecuted for being nude in a remote area. You are protected if others have to go out of their way to see you, sometimes even on your own private land. Just make sure that you don't break any legal rules in your country or state. Though it's not illegal to be nude in a public place, practicing nudism is illegal in states such as Arkansas or countries like Iran.
A: Join a nudist community. Find a nudist beach or resort. Take a nudist vacation. Find opportunities to be nude outside.

Q: Start by determining what meals you are going to prepare at home for the week. Make sure you cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as snacks. Draw up a grocery list and then go shopping for food at the beginning of the week so you have ingredients on hand to make meals. Look up healthy recipes online or in a cookbook so you can integrate them into your meals. Opt for cooking at home most days of the week so you can have healthy, nutrient rich meals. When you do eat out, opt for the healthy items on the menu. Try to follow the same diet you cook at home when you dine out. Make sure your meals are high in fresh fruits and vegetables as well as whole-wheat grains. Opt for healthy sources of protein like chicken, fish, and tofu. Add herbs and spices to your meals to give them flavor without adding calories. Control your portions so you do not eat more than your body needs. Use smaller plates or bowls for your meals and have a little at a time so you can eat until you feel full or satisfied. Prepare vegetables or fruits first and then add protein or grains to the pot so your meals are balanced. Avoid eating out of large containers, bags, or bowls, as this can increase your portion sizes. Take small bites of your food and chew it slowly so you can savor your food. Opt for healthy snacks like nuts, granola, or sliced fruits and vegetables. Pack healthy snacks in your bag so you can have them when you are on the go. Make sure you snack between meals so you do not become too hungry and eat too much at meal time. Foods that are prepackaged or processed are usually low in nutrients and high in empty calories. Limit your intake of fast food to once a month so you maintain a healthy diet. Avoid unhealthy snacks like chips, cookies, cake, or fried foods. Do not keep them in the house or in your bag so you are not tempted to eat them. Stop eating foods that are high in trans fat, like donuts, cakes, frozen pizzas, and fast foods. Try to eat less than 2.3 grams (2,300 mg) of sodium every day. Eating too much sodium can cause you to retain fluids and gain weight. Water won't have all the calories that sodas and juices have, and it will keep you hydrated. Drinking water every day with your meals can also make you more full so you don't consume as many calories.
A: Create a weekly meal plan and cook at home as much as you can. Load up on fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains. Have small portion sizes at each meal. Go for healthy snacks between meals. Avoid foods high in fat, sugar, and salt. Drink water instead of sugary sodas and juices.
