download our FREE “Quality Matters – Ingredients, Labels, & Definitions” handout here.<\/a><\/p>\n remember! \u00a0you don’t have to shop at Whole Foods! \u00a0but many of the principles and items discussed will apply most places you shop! \u00a0below we have all kinds of resources and links, please be sure to go thru them all!<\/p>\n here’s some information about\u00a0Whole Foods responsibly grown system<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Environmental Working Group at\u00a0ewg.org<\/a>, a great resource! \u00a0their\u00a0mission is to empower people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment by providing all kinds of information and resources on toxins from every place you can think of.<\/p>\n you can find white rice pasta in many health food stores.<\/p>\n use in sauces, soups, and stews. use in smoothies. \u00a0use as a creamer for coffee and tea. \u00a0a great source of healthy fats including Medium Chan Triglycerides<\/a>.<\/p>\n remember! \u00a0many olive oils are blended with other oils! \u00a0check out this site Truth in Olive Oil<\/a>. \u00a0it’s an amazing resource for all things olive oil, including finding the olive oils that are 100% pure. \u00a0here are some of our top picks:<\/p>\n Bragg’s Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar<\/a>. \u00a0our favorite all purpose, you MUST keep this in the house!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n remember, by definition, the meats at Whole Foods have to meet minimal quality standards, which means even if you get their cheapest meats that are on sale, they are still a level of quality above what you will find in a conventional grocery store. \u00a0check out their Step 1 rating below.<\/p>\n ice cream is in the deal! \u00a0look for minimal ingredients including cream, egg yolks, and real flavorings.<\/p>\n stevia is a great no calorie option. \u00a0remember, honey is going be our favorite calorie option with grade b maple syrup being a close 2nd.<\/p>\n we prefer these butters over peanut butter all day every day!<\/p>\n remember, condiments are in the deal! \u00a0look for our deal-breakers, and be aware of sugar content.<\/p>\n most spices and seasonings should be fine, esp individual spices and herbs. \u00a0be sure to look at ingredients especially on blends. \u00a0remember to throw out your morton table salt and replace it with nutrient-intact Himalayan salt<\/a> or even this\u00a0Redmond Real Salt<\/a>.<\/p>\n super nutrient dense because you’re getting shellfish and sometimes the entire animal!<\/p>\n for water, look for Reverse Osmosis, carbon filtrated. \u00a0most “drinking” or “purified” waters will have this in the fine print. \u00a0don’t pay extra for alkaline water. \u00a0also, sparkling water is a great option.<\/p>\n coffee and tea are great. \u00a0I always opt\u00a0for organic coffee and teas.<\/p>\n believe it or not, there are great options out there for snacks.<\/p>\n remember conventional eggs are fine, organic would be the next step up, and then the best would be a pasture raised egg such as the ones from Vital Farms<\/a>. \u00a0they have several levels of quality so check them out!<\/p>\n remember we always want full-fat versus reduced fat. \u00a0and we always want a minimal level of quality, starting at hormone antibiotic free!<\/p>\n in moderation, a drink or 2 per night is fine.<\/p>\n take advantage of convenience. \u00a0but also look for our deal breakers!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n chocolate is perfectly fine, later in the day. \u00a0 look for dark chocolate vs milk chocolate. \u00a0read the sugar content. \u00a0be aware of 4g = 1tsp, and moderate how much you consume. \u00a0if a bar has 5g of sugar per half bar, that isn’t a lot of sugar. \u00a0if it has 15g per half bar, that’s pretty significant, so moderate how much you consume.<\/p>\n remember, we are not big fans of “bars” in general, but if you must, just to keep some on hand, there are some healthful options with minimal ingredients:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whole Foods Epic Badass Shopping Tour download our FREE “Quality Matters – Ingredients, Labels, & Definitions” handout here. remember!
