now that you have established your goal (see step #1 here), the easiest thing you can do to start incorporating healthy eating is to think green. this is Step #2. adding more green foods (especially raw - like in salads) to your diet can help to literally bring more life into your lifestyle. it is also the simplest way to make a change that won't leave you feeling like you are missing something, especially if the thought of eliminating foods makes you cringe and has kept you from making changes. here are some quick ways of getting your daily dose of green foods:
- adding a salad to every dinner - you can find salad fixings all cut-up or pre-washed in your local market, like the salads from Earthbound Farm Organics, for an easy way to throw together a yummy salad. add your favorite dressing (we love Annie's Goddess dressing) and you are on your way! (hint - if you are trying to lose weight, eat salad first so there's less room for other stuff.)
- veggie snacks - stick some broccoli, cucumbers or snap peas in a baggie with a side of some dressing as your dip (Goddess dressing is perfect for dipping!!). now your veggies are ready for on-the-go snacking.
- green food powder supplements - so you still aren't ready to eat more veggies. start acclimating your taste-buds by mixing green food powder supplements such as Green Vibrance into a morning smoothie. loaded with such super foods as spirulina and chlorella, this ensures you will get a dose of green energy without much effort.
as you start to get used to having more green foods in your everyday diet, you can slowly start to increase the amount of veggies (and fruits) and then begin to decrease what you are trying to eliminate. for example, if you are trying to eliminate carbs, using salad as your "rice" to accompany protein and veggies is a stress-free way to jump start weight loss.

Yay! I've also changed for the better :) I'm also taking green food powder supplements now ever since my doctor recommended it to me a couple of months back. And yes, I actually take my chlorella supplement daily. It's really effective in detoxifying my body.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Supplements are the easiest way to incorporate more green foods into your diet. The best part about super foods like Chlorella is not only do they detox your body but they also repair damage on the cellular level. You are doing your body service in more than one way. Yay for you!! :)
