It's a pretty simple concept: eat food that your body is supposed to eat and your body will feel better. If it's that easy, then why is it so freaking hard!
Becca and I have been watching these terrifying documentaries about how everything processed will give you cancer. And it made me realize... Freaking duh!!! Food that comes from the earth is better for you!
Think about it this way (whether or not you believe in evolution or creation) we were designed to live off the land. So if our bodies are designed to eat foods with one ingredient, like broccoli or blueberries, then go figure it reacts crazy when you eat foods with disodium insonite (note: my spell check didn't even recognize those as words, which I pulled from the side of a triscuit box).
Bec and I have been trying to cut those processed foods out of our diet- eating only meats, veggies, and fruits. And I'll be honest, I think my body is still detoxing from the bags or Doritos I have destroyed in my day. But I do feel better.
We make zucchini noodles instead of using pasta. We make broccoli with no butter or grill up fresh pork.
Now we haven't gone totally off the deep-end, I do enjoy yogurt with that "strawberry" flavor for lunch. And I also eat a protein bar for lunch.
I don't know that I will ever join the "Whole30" club or buy organic peaches, but I do try really hard to find those fresh, one ingredient foods to substitute for the chips. So, one step at a time, I guess...
