Christine,
I agree with all of your tips except for the “eat fruit after your meals” bit.
Eating fruit right after a bigger meal is a great way to suck the energy right out of your body. The problem is that fruit digests itself very quickly which can be a problem if it sitting on top of previously eaten foods which are still digesting in the stomach.
As a result, we get gassy and bloaty. Eat fruit on an empty stomach and preferably alone for optimal digestion.
