Those who eat no processed foods......

this is a goal I am slowly working myself up to. I know it's going to be damn near impossible living with DH.

Anyways, please let me know your "typical" meal plan for 1 week. I go back to work next week so I am going to try to start it for real then.

TIA!

Re: Those who eat no processed foods......

I don't eat zero processed foods, I do eat some whole grain breads, etc, but I look for foods with the fewest ingredients.

For breakfast I have -

Rolled oats w/almond milk (soaked overnight), and 1/2 banana. (have this most days).

Lunch I usually have a salad - with protein (tuna, chicken, beans, etc), tons of veggies, and a little bit of cheese.

Sometimes I have soup I make myself. Some kind of veggie soup.

Dinner I have a protein (lots of fish, organic meat), and some veggies. I also like to make grain dishes (quinoa, lentils). I eat brown rice occasionally, and go out to sushi about once a week (eat brown rice).

For snacks I have fruits, nuts, hummus with ezekiel bread or these low processed vegan crackers I like, almond butter on 1/2 ezekiel english muffin, stuff like that.

Once you change your mindset, its not as difficult as it might seem. Your tastebuds really do adjust.

Thanks so much for this post! It is so helpful!!!

Re: Those who eat no processed foods......

Aside, pasta, breads and cereals I don't eat processed food anymore. But I use canned chicken broth (working on doing it from scratch) and tomatoes. I guess condiments like mustard and salad dressing are also "processed" but I can't do that from scratch.

I cook everything else from scratch. Meats and veggies.

Thank you for posting this! I am working on elimating processed foods currently. I am almost there. I probably will still buy Trader Joe's Multi Grain Bread though.
