Not that it’s any surprise, but our family obviously follows a “real food” diet. And I don’t even really think of it as a “diet,” at least in the sense that we are restricting ourselves from certain foods, because my husband and I honestly don’t even want highly processed food anymore. All those packaged foods . . . → Read More: What are all these diets with crazy names and acronyms?
