I have lived my whole life eating what my body told me it wanted. And it’s mostly fresh fruits and vegetables and meats.
I’ve eaten real butter my whole life, whole milk, REAL cheese (not cheese-like substances) and avoided things in a box or, to a lesser extent, a can.
And I am healthier than any one else in my family.
Here’s my advice.
When you shop, go to the fresh meat and fresh produce aisles and dairy.
There is nothing else you want to eat in any other aisle.
THROW AWAY anything in your house that is not fresh fruit, vegetables, or meat. Frozen veggies are OK but of course not preferred.
And - most of all - stop eating wheat in all forms. Bread, noodles, etc. Eat whole grain rice (brown rice) instead. I also take vitamins- ask me for a list if you’re interested. Don’t bother buying expensive ‘gluten-free’ crap- it tastes like crap.
In a month you’ll see a huge difference.
If this seems hard- or expensive- It’s not- because as your system cleans out, you will find you are less hungry- some days I have to remind myself to eat something.
If you want an easy way to remember-
1) scrambled eggs for breakfast (with onions, green peppers, ham, cheese, whatever)
2) steak or chicken salad for lunch/dinner. Not JUST a salad, the protein makes all the difference
3) pepperoni and cheese, or yogurt, or meat slices for snacks.
Use honey wherever possible instead of sugar.
Read up on natural antibiotic foods- sauerkraut and minced garlic is an amazing antibiotic.
Uff da! Is it an amazing antibiotic, or does it just keep everyone too far away for you to catch anything! LOL!
(Pepperoni and other cured meats, however, if they're nitrite-cured, wouldn't make it on my list. Fortunately there are now many brands of lunch meats and hotdogs on grocery store shelves that are nitrite-free. And they taste just as good.)
Children haven't been able to choose whole milk in their public school lunches for many years, due to this propaganda. The only choices are skim or low fat milk (which taste terrible –no wonder so many unconsumed cartons of this stuff end up in the trash); or chocolate milk ... which would be ok if were WHOLE milk chocolate milk. Instead, the healthy saturated fat has been taken out and replaced with cheap vegetable oil.
WOW, your food list is so much like mine. I outwork, and have more energy than even young people n my family1

Yep. Most isles I don’t even bother to go down because it is nothing but packaged crap.
