Food Plan

   The food regime I am following is basically a plant-based diet within the limit of 2,000 calories daily.  Kind of making it up as we go along so, the weigh-ins will define if I'm on track or not.  If not, I will go over my food lists and cut down even more.  The goal is to eat more nutrient-dense food to get the most bang for the buck.  Salads are a mainstay, but I love to cook and am always on the hunt for adaptable recipes.  
 
    One thing that is important for my personal success is our local food coop---Nature's Farmacy Food Cooperative.  While I do eat conventional vegetables and fruits, the ultimate goal is to eat organic whenever possible.
