A new year is quickly approaching and for many of us that includes a "list" of shoulds, concerning weight loss & healthier eating.  Instead of overwhelming yourself start the New Year with a positive and balanced approach.  Take a look at the list below, choose 1 area to start with that feels right and focus on that for a week or two then add in another step.  There is no right or wrong place to start; just get started and build on each step one at a time! 

• Eliminate or greatly reduce all dairy foods.  Dairy foods are a high source of fat and for many people create excess mucus problems.
• Focus on having a balanced primarily Plant based diet, ie; whole grains, abundant leafy green & green vegetables, sweet vegetables, plant based protein, and good quality fats.  Whole unprocessed foods help to keep insulin levels down resulting in sugar and fats utilized & burned more efficiently. 
• Reduce amounts of animal proteins according to your own bodies needs and make sure they are from a healthy animal, i.e.; naturally raised, grass fed, organic. 
• Drink a lot of pure filtered water throughout the day. 
• Eliminate or greatly reduce coffee and caffeinated beverages 
• Eliminate processed food from your diet as much as possible, ie; breads, rolls, bakery desserts, anything with flour, artificial dyes, preservatives and flavoring. 
• Avoid artificial sweeteners 
• Eat unprocessed whole grains in small amounts.  Quinoa, oats, millet and buckwheat are especially good. 
• Limit but do not eliminate fat in the diet, focus on high quality fats instead such as; organic nuts & seeds, organic oils that are cold pressed, avocado’s, lean animal protein, eggs from healthy pasture raised chickens.
• Be present and focused when eating; enjoy the pleasure of flavors, texture, colors and varieties of whole, fresh foods!
