It’s not a new year without getting slammed with nutrition messages that push all liquid “cleanses” or “detoxes” without substantial, nutritious food. News flash: your body can detox with real food that’s good for you. It’s been proven again and again that diets that are too extreme or unsustainable over the long-term does NOT work.

Healthy eating should make you feel good in a way that fits into your current lifestyle in a natural and maintainable way. But between all of the different “healthy” eating plans buzzing around the media today, I know how confusing it is to pick the best one for your personal lifestyle. Dietary preferences will always look different on everyone because there are no two genetics, habits, and health priorities that are the same. However, the one underlying similarity between all of them is this: making wholesome, delicious, and real food choices a priority (or, at least 80% of the time!).
