What is Real Food?

My journey towards eating REAL FOOD has been a long one.  My rules are evolving.  My rules are flexible.  My rules fit my life as a working mom of two kids with food allergies.  I strive to follow the rules as much as I can but never 100%.

Real Food is-

• Whole food made by nature, not in a factory.
• Fruits and vegetables.  Organic when possible.
• Non-GMO
• Locally raised meat that is grass-fed and antibiotic and hormone free.  Organic store bought meat.
• Locally raised eggs when possible.
• Wild caught seafood and fish.
• Whole-grain as much as possible
• Beverages include water, coffee, and tea.  Limited juice, wine, and alcohol.
• Use non-GMO sugar but only in moderation.  Use natural sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, and organic stevia extract instead.

Real Food is not-

• Processed food from a box.
• No fast food.
• GMO-laden products.
• No artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Truvia, or aspartame.
• No corn syrup.
• No artificial colors or flavors.
