Food. It’s what we eat all day, every day. The idea of a supermarket is kind of a funny idea, yet it is something we take for granted every day. Challenge yourself to finding food outside of the supermarket, whether it comes from your own garden or the local butcher.

The simplest thing you can to do to start eating healthier is not to limit calories or carbs or anything, but limit ingredients. Compose an ingredient list, and try to limit the number of ingredients. If you can’t pronounce it, your body probably doesn’t want to process it. Play the CORN GAME- try and find which ingredient is just another name for corn.

This is a guide to gain food independence, and it is a great starting point to not having to rely on the frozen food aisle for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
