The problem was that nothing ever stuck. For some reason, this day&nbsp;in the mirror&nbsp;was different, and it changed everything. I decided that I wanted to do this right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to actually nourish my body and focus on health rather than calories and the size of my jeans. So I started researching what I should feed my body, and the more I learned, the more I realized that what I needed to do was cut out processed food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My study naturally led me to Michael Pollan\u2019s book,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Defense-Food-Eaters-Manifesto\/dp\/0143114964\/?tag=100dayofreafo-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>In Defense of Food<\/em><\/a>, and to Lisa and <em>100 Days of Real Food<\/em>. I started cooking more from scratch and found lots of great recipes, and without even really trying, 70 pounds simply slipped off my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>70 pounds! Gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-helped-me\">What Helped Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cutting processed food was definitely not an easy process, but here are a few things that helped my family along the way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Baby Steps<\/strong><br>First and foremost, we had to cut ourselves some slack. If we had thrown away all processed foods from the beginning, we would have failed, big time! Instead, we took baby steps, replacing one thing at a time. I started with cereal, making granola as a replacement. Any little improvement is still a success!<br><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">-<\/span><\/li><li><strong>Lots of Produce<\/strong><br>The easiest way to eat real food for us is to reach for fruits and vegetables. We always have tons of apples, oranges, carrot sticks, etc. on hand for those times when we want to eat but don\u2019t want to do any prep work.<br><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">-<\/span><\/li><li><strong>Planning Ahead<\/strong><br>Meal planning has been essential! I put our meal plan in my Google calendar so I can see the family\u2019s weekly activities as I plan. For example, I know that on Wednesdays I need to have a crock pot meal planned&nbsp;because that night we have dance class and otherwise would be hitting a drive-through.<br><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">-<\/span><\/li><li><strong>Making My Own Convenience&nbsp;Food<\/strong><br>Batch cooking and stocking the freezer helps so much! Everyone has days where they simply don\u2019t want to cook. I love knowing that when I have one of those days, I can grab a lasagna from the freezer because the last time I made lasagna, I made three of them and froze the extras.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It has now been more than five years since we started the process of cutting processed food, and my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/weight-loss-calorie-counting\/\">weight loss<\/a> has been very easy to maintain. I have had such an incredible change in the way I feel that I had to share that feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I went to school at the <em>Institute for Integrative Nutrition<\/em>\u00a0to become a\u00a0Holistic Health Coach. I love teaching other people how to nourish their bodies with real food! I share my journey and my recipes on my site, www.thatswhatieat.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating real food has changed my life in so many ways. Most importantly, it has completely changed the way I feel. I\u2019ve never felt healthier, happier, or more capable of handling whatever life throws at me. Everyone should get to feel this good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"70 Pound Weight Loss Through Eating Real Food on 100 Days of Real Food\" class=\"wp-image-42839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-1600x1600.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat-210x210.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Emily-Thats-What-I-Eat.jpg 1807w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Emily Allen is a former obese girl turned Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.
