I waded into my new nutritional life by taking the simple step of cutting back on sugar while including more natural fats from foods I already ate, such as eggs, nuts, cream, and cheese. With more butter and delicious homemade dressings, vegetables tasted better, so I ate larger portions, making sure, when possible, that they were fresh instead of frozen. We went to farmers markets more often, and visited the local grocery stores on the days the fresh greens would be delivered.
