Position1 of 5

Whole foods diet

This is a very general diet which includes every food group. In this diet, you only eat whole foods, which are foods that are unprocessed and in their natural state. Minimally processed foods are fine. This diet excludes all processed foods. People are encouraged to eat what is local, seasonal, and organically grown.

  1. Easiest to maintain in the long run
    It is not difficult to eat whole foods your entire life. You can satisfy every one of your taste buds while giving your body all of the nutrients it needs. The more consistent you are with healthy eating, the better results you will see.
  2. Eating whole foods promotes good overall health
    Whole foods are real foods: what grows in soil, what falls from trees, and what can be obtained from livestock. Real foods are far more nutritious than factory-made foods. More nutrition means less micronutrient deficiencies, which means better overall health.
