Valentina took a lot of time hearing about my lifestyle, diet, and concerns. We talk about a cleanse specific to my needs to help me start. We also went thru my list of foods that I should avoid because of my high reaction level to them. She gave ideas of what to do with the foods I could actually eat. And also recommended some of her recipes I could follow too. I appreciated that a lot since I'm not the most creative person in the kitchen. Anyway I am not all the way there yet since I just started but I am feeling more focused and positive. I actually think I might be able to do this now! Thanks, Valentina!

Besides avoiding trans fats (palm, soybean, corn oil), I'm also careful about refined flours (like white flour or white rice), high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, sodium nitrates and sodium nitrites (found commonly in lunch meat, bacon, hot dogs), colorants, MSG. Out of all of these the most likely to be used to make breads or bagels by the store are trans fats, refined flours and corn syrup. <br />The good thing is that they are required to list the ingredients, so you can always double check what's in the food you buy. <br /><br />A have found good packaged alternatives, that don't include those ingredients, they might be a little more pricy, but it's safer food to eat. You could also start baking you're own bread, it's really not that difficult, I'll try to shoot a tutorial about it for you! <br /><br />I took a look at what's in Kellogg's Corn Flakes, although they do contain colorants and preservatives, and I would also assume that the corn they use is GMO, at least you're safe from corn syrup! At Whole Foods they have a variety of Corn Flakes that is organic, non GMO verified, sweetened with grape fruit juice. An alternative to that would be to make your own granola, which is also pretty simple, there are many recipes online. <br /><br />I hope I answered to all your questions!

I've seen the charts from nutritionists and it's overwhelming to think about how to make (tasty) meals AND stick to the rules.<br /><br />Can you say more about how to tell what premade food is okay to buy? I know to avoid partially hydrogenated oils and ingredients with a bazillion syllables, but is Kellogg cereal okay? Or bagels and breads made at the store?Anne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13505194494806470843noreply@blogger.com
