Well, NoProFoNo is coming to an end tomorrow. Some thoughts on eating no processed food for a month...
OK, let's be honest, I cheated a bit. I ate sugar probably every day, I decided that the gelatin and corn starch in my yogurt weren't worth giving up yogurt for, I decided that restaurants don't count, etcetera.
THAT SAID, I think the most important thing that happened was I got in the habit of reading labels at the grocery store, and that was actually pretty fascinating. I also made some hard and fast rules about things I won't compromise on -- no artificial colors, no creepy preservatives, no corn syrup, no getting duped by things with all-natural hippie-dippie packaging that contain one or all of the above.
So pretty much, as long as you can read labels and have a modicum of self-control at the grocery store, you can have a lifestyle of eating real food only* (*with a few exceptions), which I am happy with.
