Last week I made my feelings clear about “health food” stores and all of the organic junk food that they sell. I do love that these stores usually offer a wide variety (and high quality) selection of organic produce as well as a nice assortment of whole-grain products. But you still have to have your guard up when you are shopping because, as I mentioned, everything that health food stores offer is by no means “real food” approved. So what better thing to do than share a “cheat sheet” to help you navigate through all of that junk to find the good, wholesome, real food?

I spent a great deal of time walking through our local Earth Fare store (the South Charlotte location) looking at every single product that they sell. I know not everyone lives in Charlotte (or shops at Earth Fare for that matter!), but a lot of the products that they carry are sold nationwide. So what I came up with was an eleven-page bullet point list of every single item that you could buy and eat/drink from Earth Fare if you were following our real food rules. This document is the perfect “cheat sheet” for those taking the 10 Days of Real Food pledge. Oh how I wish I had this handed over to me when we started our 100 Days of Real Food pledge last year!
The Earth Fare Real Food Cheat Sheet is located in our Free Membership area, which you can join by clicking the button below -

I've tried to look at several things on your website, and all of them direct me to your facebook page. I refuse to sign up on facebook, and wish this information was available to NON facebook users.
Kelly says
Please email this to me as I am not on facebook. I am so happy I found your site as we are moving to real food eating this year. Although the hardest thing for me to give up thus far is my soda and truvia in my coffee. Does truvia count as a sugar substitute if made from stevia plant?
Thanks

Linda Siadys says
I want to do this challenge I pretty much eat this way already...please tell me I can eat organic blue corn chips if they have less than 5 ingredients...
100 Days of Real Food says
Even if there are less than 5 ingredients they are most likely deep fried which is a "no no"....sorry!
Laura S. says
Garden of Eatin' and Guiltless Gourmet both make a baked blue corn chip. I know you can find the Garden of Eatin' brand at Whole Foods. I actually prefer Garden of Eatin's unsalted blue corn chips, but they're fried... and unfortunately their baked version is salted, ugh.

I thought my husband and I were the only two people in the world not on FB! LOL Glad to see so many of us hold outs. :) Anyway, please e-mail me your cheat sheet. I am a little overwhelmed right now and I think it would be a big help. BTW We watched Food, Inc. and I don't think I can look down the isles of a grocery store the same, but I think that is a good thing.
