What to eat?

REAL FOOD!  I feel like with all the product labels and endorsements  it is tough to know what really good for you (peanut butter multigrain cheerios on biggest loser for example, come on it's just sugar and processed oats).  It is best to eat things that don't even have a label.  I never count calories and I don't care about low fat or low sugar (because it probably is replaced by something worse like aspartame for sugar)  I want real food in the least processed form possible. 


Dont Eat:
Sugar
white flour ( must say 100% whole wheat or whole grain)
High Fructose corn syrup/ aspartame/ splenda/
refined salt/ white vinegar
processed junk/  msg/ preservatives!!
Eat :
raw fruits and veggies or cooked but best raw, local is best, then organic, then conventional
I use agave or honey as a sugar replacement (for a treat  I do 2/3 xagave for every 1 cup sugar in any recipe.  It works even for baked goods!
Real salt
WHOLE grains eat a VARIETY not just wheat  (ground, sprouted, cracked or cooked whole)
Olive oil for salads/ coconut oil for baking or frying (high temps)
Nuts and Seeds:  flax, sunflower, chia, pumpkin, hemp, almonds

I eat everything meat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, grains, gluten and I try to eat a variety of colors and foods.  It is amazing how good real food is!  I eat as much as I want.
