This Diet Stuff Isn't so Complicated...although the Diet Industry Would Like you to Think Otherwise


I find it so incredibly frustrating how we are bombarded my these mixed messages about what foods are good for us. It's in their best interest for us to be confused because confusion sells.

There is really nothing complicated about what we should eat. Here are 6 Golden Rules:
• Approximately 90% whole foods - that means only 10% of your diet should be processed
• At meals, a fist sized portion of protein and load on the veggies
• Drink tons of water
• Eliminate soda and chewing gum
• If you want coffee, drink it after a large meal as a digestive aide
• Eat with the seasons

I can already hear some of your grown, though, because many of us have built up addictions to some of these foods/beverages. Our palates have become accustomed to processed foods so we crave sweets.

This is also why I believe that doing our JOOS Cleanse is so fabulous – it reboots your system so that eating whole foods is desirable for you – and also empowers you to live your best life.
