Our bodies weren’t meant to eat frozen dinners, canned spaghetti or processed cheese.  We are filling ourselves with inflammatory food-like products that make us sick, fat and depressed.

Here’s a simple list of what to avoid and delicious substitutions that you will enjoy. Some items like highly processed oils are in many things. Read the labels or simply eat whole foods.

These changes can make a huge difference in how we look and feel. It’s easier to be our ideal weight when we eat right. Good eating habits invite good health.

Addendum:

Besides what I've shared above and below: I recommend 1) intermittent fasting 2) carnivore, and/or 3) food combining principles that work with digestion principles for weight loss or maintaining weight.  

I also recommend "know thyself". For example, if you start eating sugar (for example, honey) and that leads to binge sugar consumption, perhaps sugar and/or honey is not for you. 

There are general principles to leading a healthy life, and part of that is honoring what works best for a healthy digestive tract.  What is good for a friend or colleague, might not be good for you.

Step one is discard most products you purchase from the shelves of our grocery stores or are sold in 'fast food' establishments. Read the labels.

The color, additives, preservatives and combinations of ingredients can, in many instances, cause obesity, digestive distress and more.

Processed sugar

Raw honey, organic grade B maple syrup, fruit

Sodium or table salt 

Sea salt, pink Himalayan salt 

Wheat flour

Almond flour, coconut flour 

High processed oils - vegetable, canola, safflower, partially hydrogenated

High quality omega 3 & 6 oils - extra

virgin coconut oil, olive oils, hemp seed,

chia seeds, avocados, and avocado oils

Cow dairy

Goat or sheep dairy. The molecular make-up

of the sheep and goat dairy is more easily

digested in the human body. Also, cows

are typically fed genetically modified

corn and soy, which creates inflammation

in cows and is then passed onto us.

Note: if the cows are not pumped with antibiotics, grass fed (with some grain supplementation), and live a 'happy' life, dairy may feel good in your body.  Also, raw milk products from local farmers practicing wise principles and care with their cattle, can be a new and wonderful experience with milk, cream, cheese etc.

Alcohol

Bubbly water, herbal tea and cold-pressed juices
