Nutrition 101 – Let's keep this as simple as we can!

1. If it comes in a package and has a label...it may not be food.
2. If you can't pronounce the ingredients...I'm pretty sure it isn't food.
3. Shop around the perimeter of the grocery store.
4. Don't eat grains, dairy, sugar, or anything processed.
5. Corn is a grain.
6. Go as organic and local as possible. This applies to both plants and animals.
7. Eat tons of veggies, medium amounts of meat, little fruit, and snack on nuts and seeds.
8. Drink water and keep your coffee and tea unsweetened. No stevia, etc.
9. Shop often because food expires quickly.
10. Being healthy requires effort, plan on it. Just a heads up.
