7 Simple Swaps That Will Transform Your Diet @ClevelandClinic

 
My philosophy can be summed up in three words: Eat real food.
The way to do this is to take back your kitchen.
Transform it into a place of nourishment and healing.
Remove all the sugary and highly processed foods that hold your weight and health hostage.
Stock up on real foods: fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and lean animal proteins like fish, chicken, and eggs.
