So how is it possible to carry on eating organic food on a diet?
For starters the best way to go is to start growing your own.
You can do this in two ways, go the whole way and start off with buying organically produced seeds from specialist suppliers or start out with ordinary seeds and raise them the organic way.
Avoidance of chemicals is of course the main guiding principal for the organic way.
Fortunately you will find commercial products at many garden centres now to help if you do not have organic facilities already in your garden.
Pest control has a few organic options one of which is the use of soft soap to remove pests from your plants. This has no harmful chemicals that will affect your soil.
