What is healthy eating? After years of intense thought and study, I believe healthy eating is consuming a whole foods plant based diet, eating as many nutrients per calorie as possible, and not overeating. Healthy eating involves eating real food (nothing from a package). So, when I go to the store and want to buy something, I ask myself, how many nutrients am I paying for? Even though some foods are inexpensive (for instance, a nutrigrain bar or cheese) they are also low in nutrients, so I see it as wasting money because I'm not buying what I believe to be healthy food. 

         Eat mostly vegetables. Unlike oils, processed foods, meat, and dairy that fills your stomach quickly with many calories and few nutrients, you can eat as many vegetables as you want. Living foods provide a plethora of micronutrients, phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
