Write a nutrition manifesto
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
What do you want to commit to nutrition-wise? Do you often say to yourself “I should eat more fruits and veggies” and then find it difficult to follow-through? Sometimes writing down your goals is all it takes to make them a reality. Today, write out your eating goals and post them some place where you can refer to them often. Use them to inspire positive change in your diet.

I wrote down everything i was going to eat today last night, and i followed through! [well, i allowed myself to have a kashi bar after breakfast..but that’s about it :]
I usually only crave chocolate after dinner, and the only chocolate i allow myself to have is: kashi bars [cherry+dark chocolate] or vitatop muffins :]
I will begin a junk food detox tomorrow and stock my fridge/pantry with healthy grab and go snacks.
i’m glad i did this! we have cookies at work and i wrote NO COOKIES at work!!!
I will not reach for whats “easy” I will make an honest effort to chose healthier choices for me and my family.
I will plan better for a balanced day. Paying better attention to the overall selection of fruits, vegetables and whole grains making each meal meaningful.
Don’t eat meat that hasn’t been ethically raised/produced, eat at least one meat-free meal a day, try to go totally meat-free at least one day a week, talk to my mom about making responsible food choices for our family and making better, more strategic use of our local farmers markets, eat organic/natural whenever possible. make food choices that are good for my body and do not take away from my fitness/lifestyle goals.
fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, nothing artificial. that’s what i crave and that’s what i plan to stick to. no acceptions. my body comes first from this point on. :)
I am beginning a gentle detox program tomorrow. I will pay attention to my body and enjoy the process of consuming foods that are only healthful and beneficial for my body.

Jolynette, what a wonderful manifesto. What a great way to think.
fec139, wow! An ex bf of mine was recently diagnosed with ALS so I’ve learned about it a lot in the last couple of months. Wishing you all the best!
cheryl, my aide, is making me veggies every day….....vive is really good with yogurt!
I will eat what I crave… fruits, veggies, and lean meat. I will not settle for the convenient foods that do not satisfy my cravings and ultimately leave myself and my tummy feeling miserable and disappointed.
