EAST NASHVILLE 30 - ONE-THIRD DOWN!
10 days down, and I think we're all feeling pretty great! Figuring out what our vices are when it comes to processed foods and finding great whole/real food alternatives. :) I'd say we're getting our sea legs for eating with the perspective of fueling our body with what it needs rather than the junk that gives us temporary highs but no real sustained energy. We are what we eat, and I'm feeling better already by eating food I can see in its natural state, maybe grown locally or organically and not in a plastic bag with 30 other unpronounceable ingredient. Go team 30!So this is the start of 2nd 10 days!! What we're adding on here, or rather removing from our plates, is Dairy and Gluten. Remember to fill your plates with enough healthy protein, fats, carbs and of course veggies, and you won't even notice that dairy and gluten have disappeared. We're looking to gain benefits of reducing our intake of inflammatory foods, and may see some other benefits in our skin, respiratory system and our sleep! Boom! Don't forget your water. Water! Water! Water!!!Here is your: GROCERY LIST FOR THE SECOND 10 DAYS!Please refer to: www.chelseajyoung.com for recipes!
