There are quite a few ways to start eating healthy, but it can be hard to know exactly what to eat or what foods to buy to keep your goals. Luckily, there are some charts to help you make better food choices, combat cravings and teach you how to pack up a healthy lunch:
1. Grocery List
Let's start with the grocery list. Here's a giant list of healthy foods to buy that can replace all the unhealthy stuff you normally eat. Then, choose recipes that use these ingredients.
2. Let's detox
