Health knowledge made personal

Pretty soon (actually, very soon) my migraines vanished (almost completely!), I was able to finally call myself a "morning runner" due to the energy surge, my skin cleared up, my nails stopped breaking, and I lost about 10 lbs. Today I am 100% off prescription migraine medicine (it will be 6 months next week!) and rarely ever get a migraine (maybe 1 every 2-3 months). What's also changed? My taste buds! Now that I eat only real food, I can't even stomach the fake stuff. If it has artificial anything in it - I swear I can tell (I've actually tried this blindfolded, haha). To me, it tastes like there's added chemicals - not flavor. Friends often ask me how I stick to such a diet. I always answer back "what diet?" Before we invented preservatives and food dyes, was everyone on a diet? There is no food (or meal) I can't make or find - I just buy the all natural version. Don't believe me? Let's say I'm craving a McDonald's burger? I'll make these French fries? Here Oreos? I'll grab a box of the all-natural version at Whole Foods Chinese Food? I'll either make my own or order from an all-natural restaurant Margaritas? Check out these babies Cupcakes? I have these for breakfast Taco salad? Bet you like this version better Pancakes? I have more recipes than I know what to do with How about commonly found items in most family cabinets? You can find ALL of these in an average grocery store at comparable prices to their chemical cousins - Ketchup - Mayonnaise - Salad dressing - Milk - Yogurt - Frozen pizza - Canned soup - Boxed Mac N' Cheese - Beans - Peanut Butter - Jelly - Bread - Sweeteners - Cereal - Granola bars There really is no excuse! You'll reap the health benefits, energy will surge, pants will fit better and you're taste buds will dance! If you're new (or intrigued by) the Eating Clean diet and want to ask me any questions, feel free to contact me at Biochemista@gmail.com. I'm more than happy to help you get started! |

A friend of mine from college (who also has a blog , btw and is a super fast ultra marathoner now), introduced me to the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno and raved about her increased energy, glowing skin, silky hair, and overall fitness improvement. Amazed by her results, I decided to give it a try. I was also looking to rid my poor college eating habits and learn how to eat like a grown up.
