Dos and Do Nots
Dos:
- Eat as many veggies as possible (there should be no limit, though this obviously excludes french fries)
- Eat organic
- Eat grass-fed
- Consume raw dairy (milk, cream, cheese)! That is, if you do not have any bad reactions to it, which I do not.
- Aim to eat at least 50% raw
- Snack on veggies and veggie dips
- EAT FAT! I'm so tired of hearing about how low-fat is good for you. It's processed crap. Your body needs fat, your brain and hormone function relies on fat. Go eat some guacamole and grass-fed butter.
- Eat consistently
- Do be happy and thankful for the food you are eating. Take pride in the fact that you're nourishing your body, and you're getting healthier.
- Stop eating grains!
- Eat REAL food
- In place of sugar try natural sweeteners like stevia, raw honey or dates
- Shop at farmer's markets, and eat locally
- Take pride in your cooking, and yourself
Don'ts:
- Don't eat processed/refined foods
- Stop eating prepared foods out of boxes, make your own! It's fun!
- Don't eat low-fat; it's processed and that crap is gross anyway
- Do not eat grains, yes even whole grains
- Fast food
- No vegetable oils
- Sugar, especially refined sugar
- Avoid artificial sweeteners
- Don't eat meat from giant corporate farms. The animals aren't taken care of properly and aren't fed properly. When animals are fed GMO soy/corn (which most are) it jeopardizes their health, and therefore yours as well. It also promotes E. Coli in the animals.
- Do not eat farmed seafood. Farmed seafood is also fed GMO soy/corn, and it makes it toxic.
- Do not eat Genetically Modified in general
- Do not eat soy. Soy is pushed as a health food, but I assure you it is not. Most is genetically modified. You can read about the dangers of soy here: http://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert.html
