Eat Like Your Life Depends On It Because It Does!
7 Day Healthy Meal Plan
Every living cell in your body is made from the food that you eat so eat like your life depends on it because it does!
If you consistently eat junk food then you will have junk cells and a junk body. This does not mean that you will be fat or overweight but it means you will have poor quality cells and you will be at higher risk of illness and disease. Eat good quality organic, real whole foods from the earth and lean cuts of meat & organic dairy with no antibiotics or hormones to give your cells the best quality nutrients to build a strong healthy body.
Here is a meal plan with a lot of variety so you have options. This meal plan does include meat, dairy and eggs so if you are a vegetarian then you will have to make substitutions to satisfy your needs.
If you have a favorite meal or snack you can have that for 3-4 days you do not have to change your meals every day. You also have to adjust for your own personal likes, dislikes and food allergies. I recommend using all organic foods, farm raised, grass fed and local farmers with no antibiotics, hormones, pesticides or chemicals. To have healthy cells and a healthy body you must eat quality food.

Optimal Health Supplement Recommendations
1) Multivitamin– I recommend an all natural wholefood multivitamin. Your vitamins should come from Whole Foods. If the label does not say that it is coming from whole foods then it may be synthetic which is chemically made in a lab and the nutrients do not come from food. Your Vitamins should be ISO9000 certified and NSF Certified. Your Multivitamin should be free of any additives.
All vitamins come from fresh whole, raw foods so the closest to the original form is the best quality for your body. I recommend to juice green vegetables or take a green supplement like Macrogreens.
Macrogreens & other green supplements often have the nutritional value of 3-5 servings of fruits and vegetables. They are simply dehydrated fruits & vegetables but read the labels to make sure there are no additional ingredients.
