Work it Out Wednesday - Not a workout!

Sometimes a workout isn't a workout.

In that case, it's how I'm eating.

Yeah, I know that was confusing. Move on.

With the exception of going out with family and friends, I eat really healthy.

I avoid most processed foods (all the foods in the store that are in the middle aisles).

I cook with olive oil, don't add extra salt and drink at least 20-40oz of water a day (I strive for 60oz+, but sometimes I don't always hit it).

I'll be starting a new medication next week with some rough side effects.
So basically if I don't want to live in the bathroom, I need to eat even better.

I've been following Darya's blog The Summer Tomato for a while now and I'm super pumped about her new book that was just released!

Foodist - Using real Food and Real Science to Lose Weight Without Dieting

Okay, I know what you're thinking.

"Another freakin' 'Diets aren't the answer!!' book???? UGH!"

Well my friend, diets aren't the answer.

I don't consider my food/meal options a diet.

I've done a complete lifestyle change.

It really hasn't been easy, and sometimes I still eat kind of bad.

But I know how my body feels completely different when I eat real foods.

I'm not as tired and depending on what I eat/how much I eat of real foods, I'm not as hungry.

I should be getting Foodist delivered from Amazon today.

Maybe in the following WiOW posts, I'll add in a little snippet from her book. :)

What are some of your favorite "real" foods?
