Food snob in the making. . .

I think I am officially over my chips and cheese addiction. . .intervention successful!! So happy I didn't have to have to the TV show come out and take me away. Truthfully, I kinda let my little plan fall to the side this week, mostly because I didn't have time to go buy groceries, but I still made MUCH healthier decisions and feel way better than before. I've always been a huge proponent of eating all natural, organic, blah, blah, blah but wasn't exactly living it. After my little "detox" experiment I feel like I am much more in tune with what my body is needing (which to my surprise is not chips and cheese and Dr. Pepper) and actually am starting to crave certain fruits, and veggies and proteins instead of junk food. I feel myself turning into a food snob and I'm pretty sure I'm OK with that :)

I've listened to quite a few conversations lately about people who have problems with their children - like doctors thought they had autism, A.D.D., or other behavior problems, and in the end they were able to "cure" them with strictly a change in diet. A few cases involved going gluten free but a lot were just cutting out processed foods. It seems like such an obvious connection that we eat so many un-natural things in this day and age and we see so many more cases of things like autism and A.D.D in children and so many more cases of cancer, and other diseases in adults. Something to think about. . . . .

Alright, coming back from my small tangent, if anyone is interested in giving my "detox" plan a try, shoot me an email and I would be happy to share the specifics with you.

Oh and I was gonna share my solution for getting over a pop addiction (this is not an original idea by any means). Find a really good juice, not like a sugary one but like the pomegranate juice or an all natural fruit something, preferably a thicker more concentrated juice and mix it with sparkling water or club soda.. . .totally satisfies your pop craving AND it's amazing with vodka. (Did you really think I wasn't going to drink liquor for 2 weeks???)
