    Sounds yummy so far. I recommend trying as many squashes as possible. Some of my favorites are delicado and curi squash, but they are all good!
    Also, if you are eating dairy, you should really get some good butter from grassfed cows! It's loaded with fat soluable vitamins and udder love (hehehe).
    And just so you know, IF you are taking any homeopathics, you might want to stay away from mint because mint will cancel out the effects of your homeopathics.
    And there is a bit of controversy on the whole vitiamins thing, but it is believed by some that they should only be taken if you really really really need them, or that they shouldn't be taken at all. Sometimes when a vitimin is extracted from it's original food source, your body can't use it without the rest of the food that it came with. In the end the vitamins might actually make you more hungry because your body is looking for the missing pieces.

    Have fun shopping!

    In general:
    Try to eat at least some organic foods. More is better.
    Try to eat some raw foods. Like nuts(raw not roasted), fruits, and some (uncooked) vegetables.
    Fruits, good list. Eat some whole fruits (unblended). Juice is good, whole is better.
    Looks like a great start. I'm always trying to do a little better.
    • This thread was from so long ago, but I just now read it. Can anyone explain why whole (unblended) fruits would be better than blended?

      Just wondering because today I'm taking a good, long look at my food in the house and trying to incorporate even more variation with great foods. I love my chocolate soy milk/ frozen banana/ spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter smoothie. I also enjoy making mixed fruit smoothies with frozen, organic blueberries.

      Why would my fruits in 'smoothie-form' be less beneficial than 'whole?' Only thing I can guess is eating the skins of some of the fruits.
