And I would like to add to the “real food” video that eating real food doesn’t mean that you can’t eat things like muffins or dessert or bread; it’s just a matter of picking the “real” ones (so not the ones that come wrapped in plastic at the 7-11). So get that whole grain bread from the baker at the farmer’s market (or better yet, make it yourself). Or find an easy recipe for whole grain blueberry muffins made with whole wheat, grains, fresh in-season berries, and coconut or olive oil. Dessert can be in season fruit topped with (my favorite) loosely whipped cream (you don’t even have to sweeten it!), grilled peaches, poached dried fruit, compotes made out of whatever you find at the farmer’s market.

(Also, banana blended with avocado and cocoa makes for a yummy pudding, believe it or not! And pureed frozen bananas taste like ice cream!)
