Good advice, Carney. To start with, I would suggest eliminating all processed foods (other than cooking, which is a form of processing). To the degree that we eat processed foods, we unbalance our diets because processed foods are unbalanced.
Examples:
An apple is balanced but apple pie is not.
Cherries - yes / Cherry cobbler - no
Corn - yes / corn syrup - no
Sugar cane - yes / granulated sugar - no
Meat from wild game - yes / domesticated grain-fed animals - no
Mother's milk - yes / cow's milk - no
Potatoes - yes / potato chips - no
Vegetable toppings - yes / pizza - no
Baked goods made with flour - no
Whole fresh fruit - yes / fruit juice - no
Whole grains - yes / processed grains - no
Note: I hesitated to include meat but I threw it in as a token to those who feel they must eat meat every day. Anyway, the above are just examples so as to provide a starting point.
