di·et  

/ˈdī-it/

Noun

1. The kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.

We want to clean up the foods we habitually eat!

We do not want to restrict the foods we eat to cleanse or detox. This is not a crash diet.

We want to challenge ourselves to eat an even more healthy and wholesome diet.

Here is how we plan on modifying our already existing diet in a way that is enjoyable and sustainable for us.

1. Eating more leafy green and colorful vegetables
2. No added salt/ limiting foods that contain high amounts of salt (ex. cheese)
3. No added sugar
4. All our grains should be whole grains (ex. brown rice, quinoa, barley, oats etc)
5. Ensuring 1-2 vegetarian meals per week
6. Ensuring 1 fish meal per week
7. Limiting processed foods (ex. pita chips, cereals)
8. Increasing seasonal, local and organic produce consumption (from local farmers market)
9. Favor cooking methods such as boiling, baking and grilling rather then frying.

If you do follow this journey with us you will notice some choices Jon and I have already made for our family (like not eating red meat or pork, only drinking almond milk, no butter or margarine, no juice or soda etc). Our diet will never be the perfect raw food, all organic, all homemade diet but we hope to challenge ourselves to be the best we can be.We are just trying to improve our eating habits even more. We truly enjoy eating healthy and it is a passion of ours.

Recipes and tricks to follow!
