Clean Eating~


I'm always looking for the next "BIG THRILL" where my fitness and or diet is concerned. My hubby had me watch an awesome documentary on Americas food and the things "they" don't want us to know. It's called "Food Matters" If you haven't seen it, PLEASE check it out. You will probably be horrified as I was and decide to make a few changes in the things you put in your mouth. I came away not wanting to eat another bite of meat EVER again. I also decided I wanted to give eating more raw and organic foods a try.


This is my new favorite place to shop! And I love it because the staff knows the products they are selling. Yes, organic foods are more expensive than non-organic foods but the way I see it, you'll pay up front for better food or you'll pay on the back end because of the chronic conditions you have from eating all the garbage foods. The latter of the two is usally more expensive because of all the doctor co-pays and expensive prescriptios. Oh, and don't forget all the refills on those scripts! I stand not in judgement, you gotta go with what you can afford, but please be honest with yourself. If you are eating out 3-4 nights a week, and going out to lunch everyday, you can cut that out and afford to buy some decent food. 
I have noticed a drastic change in my complexion, my mood, hair & nails...this food is awesome! Please believe me when I say that organic foods even taste better than the other stuff. I made a 30 day commitment to myself to try an organic, no meat eating lifestyle. I'm on day 21 I think and I can see this as a permanent way of life for yours truly. I encourage everyone to at least give it a 2 week trial and see how you feel. You might surprise yourself...I sure did!

  4. Cid~ That's awesome! This has been a challenge for me. I was at Fridays and the Jack Daniel chicken nuggets were calling to me but I had to be strong. You can do it girl! Maybe you can have a cheeseburger once a month and then once every other month and keep extending the time period until you're no longer having them at all. Good luck with whatever you decide...
