To begin, one of the key steps in transforming Greg is cleaning out all the food that got him here in the first place. This includes many of the food items in his cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer. I want him to bot have easy access to foods that will be strictly off limit. The risk to cheat therefore is reduced and unlikely to happen. (not to say he won’t cheat, we will get to that later)

He is going on a lean protein slow digesting carbohydrate diet and it seemed like we emptied almost a ton of food out his house. All in total, we removed 12 plastic bags of food. Four of these bags was just cereal, many which I think he forgot he even had. He had at least 10 bottles of jelly, which for a diabetic is complete opposite of types of food he should be eating. The food in general was processed and full of refined sugar. The typical American staples.

Cleaning out the food he is use to eating is key to his transformation. This is not only a transformation but an education if clean eating. We are going to go shopping fill back up his frig and cupboards with the items he should be eating. He will learn what he should buy on a weekly basis and what items to avoid.

My own transformation was closely related to my education about food. It goes hand and hand. The more you know about how food interacts with your body, the chances are the better choices you will make when you are buying food. You will need to get educated if you are to make a lasting change.

(No worry the food won’t go to waste. It was brought to my work where it will be consumed by my coworkers like a pack of ravage dogs.)
