PERFECTION IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST.
I don’t know about you, but for me, when I began the switch to real food, it was all very confusing. I also had the tendency to want to be perfect or nothing. We all know that perfection is the road to destruction, especially when it comes to food, am I right? I believe that finding a good balance is the KEY to making real food doable.
The Real Food GOOD-BETTER-BEST Principle goes along well with the 80/20 rule that I just wrote about. The goal here is to seek the best foods you can and not worry when you can’t be perfect. Eating healthy, yet not stressing about it, is a great place to be! And I can always vouch for real food, since it’s done some amazing things for this body of mine!

DaNelle, Can I tell you how much I love this? What a great, simple and clear reference guide that everyone can use to help make some better food choices. I’m having a “why didn’t I think of this first” moment! Kudos to you!
Dear DaNelle,
thank you so much for this website! I hab allready read a book about real food about a year ago. But it was only said how to eat, but not how to manage healthy eating in every day life. You´re blog is such a help, I´m totally inspired – especially about the how to get cheap good meat thing. I am totally gonna do that!
I am so excited to have found your blog! I look forward to following along. Great graphics, great topics. Emily and I have become fed up with the extremes out there (100% this or that) and have decided we wanted to let people in to see our NOT PERFECT lives. We’ll leave perfection to other people. 🙂 We just try to be really good at what is important to us, and one of those things for me is Real Food (and for Em, that’s gardening). So I think we may have found one of our new favorite blogs to read. Yippee!! Look forward to pointing some of our readers toward your content.
Thanks for posting this! It is so helpful. I can’t print it however. Write clicking isn’t working for me. Do you have a pdf version?
I don’t have a PDF version, but that’s a great idea! I’ll get working on it!
Thank you for this very helpful chart! I love that I could print it up and put it on my fridge to help remember some of these important principles! Your blog is very inspirational and I’m so thankful you are sharing your experience and knowledge with us!
Oops!
DaNelle, did you create this?
Ginia, did you make this meme?
It is Stunning!! xo
I, also, would love a full size copy of this chart. How can I get that?
Thanks so much!
You can click on the image and then right click and press print. Hopefully that helps!
I would also like this graphic and the food substitution graphic when they are available. They are a big help. Will you have them in wallet size also? Thanks!
Dianne
Hi Dianne,
Wallet size would probably be too small, but you can click on the image and then right click & print from your computer.
Hope that helps!
