What is my present diet strengths and weaknesses? How am I going to modify it to be healthy?

I, like everyone else, need to work on my diet. 

My strengths include: creating smoothies with lots of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. I make sure that I include some power greens in each smoothie. I use these smoothies for at least one meal a day. 
I use organic, cold pressed coconut oil, although saturated, for everything from skin treatment to cooking. I also use organic, cold pressed olive oil for cooking. I eat gluten free as I am allergic to wheat. I eat organic Chia seeds, flax seeds, lentils and other beans to make sure I get enough protein as I am cutting down on animal products. I try to purchase items that only have 5 or less ingredients in them.

My weaknesses include: sugar, which is very bad for me as I have cancer. Not getting enough fruits and vegetables. Eating processed foods. Eating dairy even when I have been told I need to avoid it for my health. I crave meat sticks and other nitrate meats now and then and I give into those cravings sometimes. Snacking on food I know is not good for me at times, like chips, late in the evening.  

My modifications: Currently I am working on incorporating more fruits and vegetables into my diet and to not eat processed foods. I try to make sure to eat fresh, organic choices whenever possible. 
I also watch for non-GMO products, which are very bad for you. I am keeping a food journal as it seems to keep me on track. If I have to write it down for someone to see it helps me chose better things. It also makes me aware of what I am actually eating and why. I am also keeping track of when I am eating, as well, because your body needs time to digest what I am giving it. I am adding 30 minutes per day of exercise to assist my body. I am taking whole food supplements so that my body will be getting everything that it needs to be able to use the nutrition I am feeding it.

This is a lifelong journey. 

I can make it hard or make it easy for myself. It is important for me to know what is healthy, what is the correct food to eat, how to eat it and when to eat it. Each day brings challenges but being better prepared will help me achieve the goal of better health and reach a state of well-being.
