Eat foods FIRST made from the EARTH and then FROM the factory

Have you ever told yourself that you are going to stay away from donuts or that chocolate cake at an event. And guess what ends up happening, you just want to devour that cake and then some!

I don't believe in eliminating certain foods, but instead in finding alternative solutions that will remedy that desire.

Let's face it, some of the most delicious foods there are- can be filled with fat and sugar. Our taste buds have been conditioned to want them and crave them.

What I have learned is that it's not about the food you are craving that matter BUT what you ate through the day THAT will determine your CRAVINGS!

What do I mean?

If you fill your body up with foods that are pure, natural and healthy for you - throughout the day you will realize that you don't  crave or desire for foods that are high in fat and sugar.

Let me share an experience 

I was visiting my husband at his work and he came out to share a chocolate candy with my son, I opened it and decided that i would try some… not that I wanted it, but only because it was there I decided I would try it. And I started to chew it and realized how gross it tasted. YUCK ! I spit it out! 


This is what I am referring to, because my taste buds and my body are not used to eating this way the pure taste of it has left a disgusting taste in my mouth!

So, what does this experience mean to you?

To me, it taught me how my tastebuds have been conditioned to appreciate real food. When i feel like eating a piece of something sweet what I do first is eat a healthy treat and then drink water and then I will see if I really want that TREAT ! Usually by then I may enjoy a small treat but nothing over the top because I satisfied that need with something else in my mouth.

As you slowly make the transition to healthier foods you will realize what a difference it will make to your taste buds, cmon I dare you taste it for yourself !
