Thank you for the info. I need to be scar...Susie! Thank you for the info. I need to be scared straight, so to speak. I'm taking steps, baby steps, but steps towards eating actual food. (Ok, I'm eating a giant box of Hot Tamales at this very moment, but I'm putting them down and switching to cuties.) The no coffee thing scares me to no end, but I just bought the most amazing white/pomagranite tea so I'll try. xoxoxo!!!Kate's Ranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934307507298389934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729659365388688912.post-6754569507400824682010-03-13T01:28:07.328-08:002010-03-13T01:28:07.328-08:00LOL! Nope, Cheetos are not a food nor is anything ...LOL! Nope, Cheetos are not a food nor is anything else that is created in a factory. And I'm horrified that you read that eating carrots is like having a big bowl of sugar! There's a lot of misinformation out there about food but if we think about it logically and how nature intended us to eat, we'd understand that if something doesn't grow from the dirt and is 100% natural, it has no business being in our bodies. This is why America is so sick with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. There are so many lies about food it's unbelievable. The fact is that the human body has the ability to heal itself when properly nourished. It becomes a well oiled machine : )<br /><br />Modern man has an addiction and this makes sense when you research the unnatural ingredients in all the so called "food" at supermarkets. It's not a mistake that these ingredients are in there. The companies know exactly what they are doing.<br /><br />Here are some healthy alternatives to your everyday, crappy, processed sugars: agave, raw honey, stevia and organic dark chocolate. All of these are available at Whole Foods. When I crave something sweet I'll have a bowl of berries with raw/organic honey or agave drizzled on top. Also, I make amazing fruit smoothies (strawberries, blueberries, banana, organic almond milk and honey...throw it in the blender and drink. Yum!). Try putting agave or honey in your coffee too. It's awesome! As for the creamer, I would go for organic heavy cream. Yes, there's a ton of calories but at least it's natural so your body can digest it easier. Coffee, cream, and excessive sugar is something that you should begin to slowly remove from your everyday diet too my dear. There's so much more that I can share with you. We should chat more so you can rant about it, LOL! I would love to talk to you more about it as you know how passionate I am about health and nutrition.<br /><br />Lastly, I'm not sure if I ever told you but I learned most of what I know on the subject from my friend, mentor and nutritionist, Natalia Rose. Check out her website www.detoxtheworld.com (her blogs are awesome) and read her book when you get a chance, Detox 4 Women. It's an easy read and most of it is recipes!<br /><br />Much love lady! xoxo, SuzAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113607824790982549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729659365388688912.post-20552370368111196762010-03-07T07:54:39.765-08:002010-03-07T07:54:39.765-08:00I use the same coffee creamer and it is scary!
