Our bodies really can take care of themselves if we give it the right supplies.
WHOLE foods are so important. You should have very little in your pantry that comes in a box, can or with more than 2-3 ingredients.
Salt, fats and sugars are addictive---- when you cut back you will start to actually taste your food again and be surprised how your palate changes. For the better.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Organic sugars
Stevia is a natural no calorie sweetner made from the leaves of the stevia tree---Sweet Leaf
