ALL NEW

As I am new to writing blogs I plan to make this tow experiences in one. My goal for the next year is to document how my family (specifically my own) diets will change over this period of time. We have been the same as the average american as far as what food we consume. We have eaten lots of meats and carbohydrates. Most of our veggies are usually cooked in some way. I have placed a grain of some sort on each of my children's plates at every meal. I have bought fat free and low fat options. We have even been guilty of buying things with fake sweeteners. Most of all we ate food based on taste mostly with some consideration of health benefits. Now I want to reverse the order of why we consume food. After all, food should be our fuel!

It is time for a change! It does not matter if we lose weight if we are simply filling our bodies with chemicals. I believe that if I can convert our diets to foods we  find in nature and get rid of the processed chemically altered foods we have been buying, not only will the pounds shed off but I will be full of energy and our family will be much happier and healthier as a whole! I figure these are huge changes to make and it won't happen over night. So I will track the progress.

On this adventure I will learn new things about food. I will learn new foods to eat and new ways to prepare them. Some of the new types of food changes will include Super Foods, Raw Foods, and definitely some Organic changes. I plan to share regular photos and post very frequently about what we are eating, new items I have found, price comparisons, benefits of certain foods, and reviews. I hope you enjoy following my blog over the next year and maybe you will find yourself joining us!
