1. EAT MORE REAL FOOD UNTIL YOU CRAVE ONLY REAL FOOD
Almost every food or weight issue that people have can be traced back to not eating enough whole foods. What exactly are whole foods? Think real. Foods that have one ingredient. Food that has been grown, food that hasn’t been processed, and food that contains vitamins and nutrients. Once you make it a point to incorporate more whole foods, you’ll start to lose cravings for processed foods. Add herbs into your meals and take certain ones in supplement form. Things like herbs and spices have powerful health benefits that are hard to ignore. Ginger and turmeric have become increasingly popular and there are tons more that are under the radar that can help your well-being significantly. Make it a point to introduce them slowly and see which ones make an impact on you. If there’s one habit that would be the most important one to develop, it’s eating a diet that’s heavily based on real food. Consider setting a percentage of how much of your food will be whole foods and continually increase that percentage as it becomes enjoyable.
2. LAY OFF DAIRY
Dairy products can be the cause of weight gain, acne, digestion problems, and more. In a world that’s constantly coming out with innovative food products, ditching dairy is not nearly as difficult as it used to be. I haven’t had dairy in over 10 years and I don’t even know how I could miss it with all the plant-based options available. Looking to go dairy-free but don’t know what products to start with? Consider buying products from great dairy-free brands like Forager, Oatly, and Violife.
