It’s Non-GMO Month!

GMO WHAT??

If you have been to our program or monthly Grocery Store Tour, the term GMO is a familiar one. This is because I believe so strongly in eliminating GMO AKA processed foods, artificial anything & chemicals in our bodies. For 4 years, I have conducted complementary monthly Grocery Store Tours for the community and clients.

We really touch on ingredients and label reading. Labels are important however, being able to distinguish ingredients within a product for overall health & weight loss is essential. People are very surprised with what’s actually in the foods they frequently consume.

Ingredients/Chemicals to stay away from:

– Monosodium glutamate

– High fructose corn syrup

–  Sodium Nitrates

–  Trans Fats

–  Hydrogenated oils (ALL)

–  Aspartame

–  Sodium Benzoate

–  Sodium Benzoate

–  Artificial colors

Why is eliminating Processed Foods So Great? It’s simple… Processed foods bloat us, contribute to diseases, weaken our immune system and destroy organs. When we eat “real” food, we look good, maintain our physiques, have more energy, live longer and best of all feel GREAT! It’s a Win-Win!!
