Learning what is in your food can be scary. Knowing what to avoid and healthier alternatives can be down right mind boggling. If you are like me you want to know what to eat, what to avoid, and the best way to do so. And unless you have an excess of free time you want a tool, an app, or something to help keep all that info straight and easy to access when you go to the store.
Allow me to introduce you to an amazing book that will help you navigate those grocery aisles with ease. Written by the couple who brought you Naked Calories, Rich Food Poor Food: The Ultimate Grocery Purchasing System (GPS) is an easy to follow guide on how to shop smart and healthy while saving time and money! This book is both Paleo friendly and wheat free. The Calton's breakdown what you need to know about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), labels, and chemical additives, and other harmful ingredients. With the GPS you will learn how to find foods with the highest micronutrient values in nine different categories! Added bonus: recipes for homemade yogurts, soups, condiments, and more!
What I absolutely love about this book are the Steer Here vs Steer Clear, aisle by aisle break downs, and Checkout Checklist. In the Steer Here section included within each Aisle Breakdown you know what brands to keep an eye out for and which ones to steer clear of. One of my favorite breakfast foods, Stonyfield Greek Yogurt, made the list of yogurts to buy. Not that I needed a book to tell me that, we love Stonyfield! Check out the Calton's website Calton Nutrition to find online coupons, free pocket downloads, and other nutritional information to help you in your journey to real rich food.

I will have to check this out. We are always lookin for ways to eliminate GMOs from our foods.
This is a good book for those starting to eat healthy.
Cereal! I guess I eat too much actual real food for even the gluten-free brands to look healthy, but I sure do miss it.
Ice cream! I may or may not be an ice cream fiend…
Hmmm…chocolate? Coffee? Those are my downfalls.
I am a chocolate chip cookie addict… Do they offer rehab for that? 😉
Mexican Food, I love it too much…
I’m addicted to ice cream – so I’d LOVE to find an alternative that satisfies what I’m wanting but also is healthy!
I would love to learn how to find organic and gmo free items at the local grocery AND Health Food Store- seems sometimes even the “health food” stores often also have items of concern or that should be avoided… let alone be sold as “healhty
I love bagels 😀
I would love to be able to find better GMO free, organic foods.
pastas – love pasta dishes – show me healthy pasta dishes that taste good so you want to eat them
In an ideal world, I’d find a healthy cheese flavored cracker! One of my downfalls…so I try not to buy them!
Look forward to reading the book- I’m always looking for ideas on how to streamline the healthy eating process. Especially looking forward to see if there are new ideas for non grain/starchy side dishes. Maybe ways to make our veggies more exciting 🙂
