If you've been
following along with the sequence of this site, there's only one more thing we
need to discuss: How to successfully apply all this to your
life.
The first step is to
go grocery shopping keeping these things in mind:
-Never go grocery
shopping on an empty stomach. That's rule number one.
-Rule number two
is shop the perimeter of your food store. The fruits and vegetables (organic is
best), nuts and seeds (in the shells only), dairy (skip the margarine), and
meat (buy lean) departments.
-Only go down the aisles for destination
items like brown rice, dried beans and peas.
-Don't go down the
canned food or cereal aisles. Don't even think about frozen dinners!
-You probably won't be able to get unrefined oils at your local
supermarket. You will probably have to get them at your health food store. Even
if the canola oil on your grocery shelf says 100% pure, it is refined and
rancid. And, by the way, just because a food item is at the health food store,
it's not necessarily healthy.
-Read the labels. Look for
"unrefined", skip anything that includes the words "hydrogenated", "partially
hydrogenated", "enriched" or "fortified". Be careful not to be
deceived.
- Learn more about wholesome products and how to
identify them.
It's not going to be difficult to make wholesome
meals. It's just a matter of getting used to a new way of doing
things. Change is sometimes hard to do at first but if you stick with it,
it will get easy. Eat simply. Feel the difference! Notice how
your mind and body feel clearer, brighter, and stronger!

what exactly are they, anyway?
