One Step At A Time

I know there are many of you out there who are like me and are thinking.. oh my word this healthy lifestyle is too overwhelming, too confusing, too expensive and too time consuming... but none of that is true! We all eat the way we do now because that is how we were trained. It has become habit and we dont think twice about cooking we just open up the cabinets and cook whats in them. Imagine when you opened your cabinets all you had to choose from were things that were natural and healthy. You wouldn't have to think about it.. there would be no "junk" food available. This is how I changed.. one step at a time. I finished everything little by little that was not so healthy and replaced it with the healthier alternative. Once you run out of white flour buy whole wheat, instead of processed canned and boxed goods replace them with fresh fruits, veggies and meats. Replace your potatoe chips with some good healthy nuts or some non-GMO corn tortilla chips. Just one step at a time and before you know it your kitchen will be filled with healthy, wholesome choices. As for too expensive... honestly if you stop buying convience foods and junk foods you will be amazed how much grocery money you have leftover to stock up on good, quality foods. And there is no need to buy beverages because filtered water should be what you drink almost 24/7. For an initial $90 investment and a yearly $50 investment for the new filter cartridge you can own a 10-stage water purifier that easily hooks up to your sink faucet and can supply good, pure water to a household of four yearly. If you are interested in more info about the water purifier I use please feel free to ask. So to sum this up.. don't get overwhelmed.. Rome wasn't built in a day and your kitchen isn't going to become an organic whole foods cafe overnight. Little changes every day are the step in the right direction. Before you know it you will wonder how you ever functioned on such a processed diet before!
