Let me be clear about something.
If it comes out of a box, is precooked, or is heavily processed... I don't eat it.
There are exceptions:
-Carbs (as long as they are 100% whole wheat) so pasta, bread, and tortilllas I buy at the store because let's be real I don't have the time nor the talent to make them from scratch.
-Pasta Sauce and Fat Free Dairy Products I buy as well, Again "ain't nobody got time for that."
When I say I don't eat processed foods I mean I don't eat boxed dinners, pre-made frozen foods, fried foods, microwave meals, anything with bleached flour, white sugar, soda, juice, any drink with sugar in it period, snack foods, chips of any kind, bacon, breakfast cereals, or breakfast bars,
All of those things turn into fat. The sugar and bleached wheat flour along with the laundry list of preservatives are foreign to your body and do so much more harm than good. I always read labels. Any sugar content that isn't explained by naturally occurring fructose, lactose, and glucose doesn't make it into my cart. I try my best to get things as close to their naturally occurring state as possible. I don't fall for fat free foods other than dairy because of the chemicals added to make them taste good. I am single and intentionally cook full sized meals so that I can reheat and eat different foods all week.
I have noticed such a significant shift in my body since removing processed foods. My digestive tract works so much faster. I don't feel bloated. I no longer feel the winter blues I have felt in the past. After the first three weeks I stopped craving processed food all together. When I have eaten processed foods or things with heavy sugar content (read soda) my body completely rejects it.
If you have the willpower to make it through the first 3 weeks I promise you will also notice significant change in your body as well.
