Diet Changes



Share Emailz

I echo Pink Kitchen's answer. We can find alternatives; we just need to be creative in finding substitutes for our former faves. Comfort food can be redefined. I replaced candy with smoothies, tofu with salmon, and ice cream with Greek yogurt. As my mom used to say, "where there is a will there is a way."

In my case, there were 4 things I did right away:

1.) I bought a juicer. Fresh veggie juice provides energy. I try to juice every day, and I always include one veggie in the cruciferous (cabbage/broccoli) family. They are great cancer fighters! I also like to use celery, which is a great detoxifier.
2.) Cut out sugars and white flours (I use stevia and occasionally brown rice syrup or agave when I bake.)
3.) Begin eating less pasta - even whole wheat - because it is processed. Instead, I now eat more whole grains such as barley, millet, and quinoa and save pasta for an occasional treat.
4.) Have raw foods with at least two meals.

If you have specific questions about foods or recipes, let me know, either here or at Pink Kitchen :)
