So, I’ve been thinking about this for a few weeks now and decided that I’d seriously like to make a go of it – I’m changing my diet for good to go all natural and additive free.
After a significant amount of planning, it’s lead me to question how sustainable this is actually going to be. My other half (who also happens to be a dietitian) also thinks this could be a tricky diet “lifestyle change” to put into practice. There are just so many things that can easily be perceived as additive free, and after a quick scan of the ingredients, a cheeky preservative has usually been thrown in somewhere.
So where have I decided to go from here? To begin with, I’ll be keeping a food diary to see what I’m eating and where I can make substitutions. To be clear, I have no intension of losing weight, I just want to see if the grass feels greener on the other side of o’naturelle!
To start with, I’m going to give myself a % tolerance, allowing for a certain amount of what passes my lips to contain some artificial preservatives. It’s always going to be a hard one to call, I mean, if natural yogurt is pro-biotic, is the pro-biotic aspect of the yogurt natural??? I’m going to be doing a lot of reading up I think!
Here’s the place to follow my progress anyway, first major change is I’ll be making smoothies, and lots of them! So subscribe to my blog today and see how well I do to become that little bit more organic!
Wish me luck…
