I am not going to going to beat around the bush. Going from the standard American diet to eating whole, nutritious foods is hard. This weekend I spoke to a woman who was terrified at the thought of someone taking away her diet coke. She drinks it all day long. Every day. I think she wanted to cry, literally. I also had the nice young man who explained to me that he HAD to drink meal replacements all day as that is what his work schedule required. I think he also wanted to add "DUH" but, he is a nice guy and didn't.

I get it. Changing your life is hard. Changing how you eat is hard.

But, I promise you will feel better. You will sleep better. I promise.

Please start today. Make one change today. Stop drinking soda after 6pm. Next week stop drinking soda at 4pm. Keep going. Start thinking about how to eat FOOD for meals rather than replacing meals.
