Why you should eat whole foods.  

The definition of a whole food diet:
One in which all meals are assembled from whole, unprocessed ingredients.  In other words, foods have nothing added or taken away.  They balance themselves out nutritionally, don't contain addictive or harmful chemicals and preservatives, and are not missing key components like fiber or vitamins.   

A whole food diet will help you to get to your natural weight.  It will reduce cravings, control your portion sizes naturally, and put some spring back into your proverbial step.  Whole foods reduce cravings because, once refined versions of foods like sugar and flour are taken out of the diet, cravings for them will begin to go away.  Portions sizes are reduced automatically because the body is no longer receiving buckets of empty calories; once nutritional needs are met, your body will let you know.  Refined versions of foods leave us searching for the rest of the food.  And by 'searching', we might mean plowing our way through a bag of chips.

A whole food diet is healthier. A whole food diet has the power to potentially rid you of your nutritional deficiencies. Depending on what is missing from your diet (and not to be too blunt, but if you're living on frozen foods and packaged baked goods, you might be missing a few things) a deficiency can affect you in countless ways:  energy levels, quality of skin and hair, weakened immune system, and on and on. 

A whole food diet will save you money.  Subtract out the cost of processing, packaging and marketing and you can see why whole foods will end up costing you less than packaged.  Have you seen the price of whole grains these days?  The savings will blow your mind.  Even when buying organic groceries, the cost will usually work out to be less or, if you're buying the really luxurious stuff, the same as a diet of processed foods.  Another bonus:  Using the Delicious Wisdom Recipe Packages will help you to lower your grocery bills by reducing food waste and cutting way down on impulse purchases.

A whole food diet is delicious.  Here's where the teaching comes in, because we know that you're thinking brown rice and steamed vegetables.  While those things are good and make a perfectly tasty meal when spiced nicely, there are so many other possibilities.  Part of the mission of Delicious Wisdom is to teach you how to cook whole foods in a creative, quick and tasty way.  By giving you a shopping list and recipes week after week, you learn by doing.  You will be able to take the skills you've learned, the ingredients you've discovered, the concepts to which you've been introduced... and use them to make delicious whole food meals for the rest of your life.
