Perhaps you have been feeling exhausted and you are tired of always feeling so tired! Are you looking for a way to cure your ailments naturally because you don't like taking medication with it's numerous side effects?
Basically, the best healthy diet plan starts with one rule of thumb:
Eat whole, colorful foods in their most natural state possible.
Simple and 100% true. No food has been made more nutritionally dense through packaging and processing.
We live in an age where most people are overwhelmed, overworked, stressed... trying to balance it all, take care of kids, aging parents, and their health gets put at the bottom of the list when it should be at the very top.
Are you going to wait until yo have a huge health scare before making changes and following a healthy diet plan? It may be too late! I don't know about you, but seems like every time you turn around someone else you know has been diagnosed with cancer.
Many studies show that 80% of cancer can be prevented through healthy diet and lifestyle changes.
Your health is the most precious gift you have, the choices you make today affect your quality of life tomorrow. Don't tell me that you don't have time if you have time to watch TV or scroll on social media. Puhlease!
Do you find yourself skipping breakfast, grabbing a quick lunch on the go, fast food for dinner? This is of course a recipe for disaster.
Yes, you do need to spend some time in the kitchen. Those vegetables don't cut themselves. But there are tons of ways to save time in the kitchen.
I'm so glad you're here! Let's get started!
This simple graphic I made shows you exactly how to follow a really balanced healthy diet plan.
Start with 1/2 your plate vegetables.... And note, this is for lunch and dinner.
Most people make the huge mistake of eating a lunch that is too small and light, a quick sandwich, a wrap, fast food, with hardly any vegetables... Or a light salad or soup. They think that the salad or soup is healthy, which it may be, But it is not enough!!
For your healthy diet plan you need to aim at getting lots of veggies, some protein and yes, some good quality carbs listed in the pic for lunch And dinner.
I can see you rolling your eyes saying, there's no way I have time to prepare all that! Well, I've got you covered, check out this great article about how to fix a super healthy lunch in minutes.
When you add in the healthy carbs... Everything changes! You'll be satisfied a lot longer and you will not be jumping into the unhealthy snacks in the afternoon.... or arriving home starving, ready to eat everything in sight! Sound familiar? I know, as a certified naturopath I've helped hundreds of my clients make these changes, learn how to eat right for their body type and drop the pounds they wanted to.
You're probably very hesitant to eat carbs because you believe that if you do that you will gain weight. Which is completely False, ...But wait, Isn't that what keto is all about. Yes, but keto is a very unhealthy way to lose weight
Medical studies prove that doing keto long term will take years off of your life. Is losing weight worth shortening your lifespan?? Seriously!
And keto is not sustainable long term. As soon as you start eating carbs the weight comes right back on and then some.
Come on, you Know that eating a balanced, healthy diet is the only way to go! And the only healthy diet plan that you can sustain long term, which is the key to your success, of course!
For your healthy diet plan, it's all about the kind of carbs!
Replace white rice, white flour, white pasta with better quality grains like brown rice, quinoa, kamut flour, kamut pasta or brown rice pasta.
What I do, is to cook large amounts of whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, and keep them in the fridge. Quinoa is perfect hot or cold, eaten in a salad. I always have sweet potatoes and potatoes on hand and kamut pasta.That makes it easy to always have your 1/2 cup whole grains.
I know! 1/2 cup is not a lot! But hey, my clients are super happy that they no longer need to avoid carbs completely, and because they are nutritionally dense they keep you satisfied, as I mentioned.
Your protein can be a vegetarian protein such as chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, tofu, you can make bean salad or hummus, etc, these are all super economical... or fish or poultry.
And either raw or cooked veggies to fill half your plate. Yes, you can use frozen in a pinch, but it really only takes 5 minutes to steam broccoli, beans, cauliflower or other veggies in a steamer basket.
I'd love to cut through all the misinformation out there for you!

High Sulfite Sensitivity
Submitted by Karl
Hello,
I've got a high sulfite sensitivity and I am finding it hard to know what's good to eat and what's not.
For example are bread, pasta, cereals good for me?
Tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, onions, garlic - these have sulfites or not ?
Is yeast good for me?
Can you suggest some recipes that are sulfite free ?
I am really confused when deciding what to eat for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. Sometimes I end up starving - REALLY starving!
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Karl

Hi Karl,
Sulfites are a health hazard to us all. They are taken from inorganic sulfur found in coal. They are used to stop mold, to stop foods from blackening, darkening and to lighten foods. They kill pests and help food retain more moisture.
Our bodies treat sulfite as a poison. It stays in our organs, causing asthma, headaches, gout, damaging the kidneys and white blood cells. It attacks the immune system and reduces red blood cell count.
Our bodies also leech minerals from the bones, muscles, nerves and digestive system in order to neutralize sulfites. This leaves us mineral deficient and prone to disease.
Two glasses of wine contain the maximum amount of sulfites one should consume in one day.
First of all you need to know the names that are used for sulfites in packaged foods:
Sulphur or sulfur dioxide
sulfur anhydride
Sodium bisulfate
Sodium metabisulfite
Potassium metabisulfite
When buying any packaged foods always check the list of ingredients to ensure they don't contain any of these sulfites.
You can easily see dried apricots that are treated with sulfites are a bright orange color. Organic dried apricots are naturally brown. For many foods it is not as easily detected.
Sulfites are found in:
Nuts
Dehydrated foods
Frozen foods
Dried fruits
On fruits, especially grapes
For the above list and as much as possible buy organic foods. Check with your local health food store. The one I shop at, Tau in the Montreal area, has a policy of not selling any food with chemical preservatives. Sign up for an organic fruit, vegetable coop or buy organic at your local market.
The more you make your own healthy meals and snacks from scratch, using whole, natural ingredients, the more you will avoid sulfites while increasing your health and saving money.
