What are you eating for dinner right NOW?
If you are really interested in changing your diet for the better, it is best to start simply instead of making radical changes all at once. I recommend doing one of these steps every two to four weeks. Following are some simple steps for improving your diet and health.
Step 1: Pay attention in the grocery store: Start reading labels! Become familiar with what you are eating. Notice that all the fresh foods are on the outside aisles and all the processed foods are on the inside aisles. Eventually, most of your cart will be filled from the outside aisles, which makes shopping so much easier! I have not even been in those aisles....EVER.
Step 2: Eliminate everything in your diet that has hydrogenated fats in any form. Partially hydrogenated is just as bad as fully hydrogenated.
Step 3: Eliminate everything in your diet that has corn syrup in it, high fructose or otherwise be careful with other syrups and sugar replacers even if " natural".
Step 4: Eliminate everything in your diet that has artificial sweeteners except for natural stevia.
Step 5: Eliminate every grain in your diet that is not a whole grain. Don't be fooled by multi-grains that aren't whole grains. Who cares if its 10 different grains if they are all stripped of their nutrients? Labels will say 100% WHOLE blah...
Step 6: Eliminate white sugar from your diet Avoid foods with contents ending in ose in the first four ingredients.
Step 7: Eliminate low-fat and no-fat versions of your favorite foods from your diet. (yes, that's right!!! Your body will crave less fat since it is getting more of the right fats and you will want less, you'll also ingest far less sugar. )
Step 8: Eat as much produce as you can that is grown in your area when it is in season. Buy organic as much as possible.
Step 9: Rotate your foods. Don't eat the same food more than 3 times in one week. (This is particularly hard to do with breakfast foods.) Try new WHOLE foods frequently.
Step 10: Don't eat anything with ingredients that your great-grandmother wouldn't have recognized if is not a whole food strictly avoid.
