After we take the trash OUT, we need to go shopping for the good stuff. What you INCLUDE in your diet is more important than what you EXCLUDE.  I recently led a group of diabetics wanting to take back their health and came up with a list of foods in the different sections of our local grocery store called Sprouts. What I love about this store is that you can see all the different sections from the front of the store and they mostly focus on selling real food and not confusing shoppers with thousands of options of packaged and processed substances labeled as food. You can find lots of choices of organic produce priced competitively so its easier to make the right choice.

Realizing that this is a work in progress, we came up with an initial draft of shopping list and healthy power-foods and super-foods with the help of their excellent staff.
