Your Diet and Nutrition
I've been thinking a lot lately about how important what you eat is... Has anyone here done a lot of research into it and could share their wisdom? Thoughts on red meat, eating fast food, etc.
I want to eat healthy, but I have no idea what to buy from meijers or these big supermarkets and there aren't any good local organic health food type stores. |

Re: Your Diet and Nutrition
I know why you don't just "read some books" on the subject--there's gads of conflicting information.
It's important to remember that all of the conventional wisdom about fast food and junk food is correct--don't eat it, unless it's an isolated treat. Otherwise, I suggest simple adjustments like only eating lean meats, skim or soy milk only, less bread, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Once you make the adjustments, they're really easy to maintain, because your system won't crave all of the salt and fat of a Big Mac and fries and the chemicals in a stupid Coke. Your brain will say "Don't do that, it's dumb." But again, it's an overall thing. From time to time, you can eat any damned thing you want; just don't let it lead to a "relapse." |

[/ QUOTE ] The great thing about expert opinion is that there's so many experts to choose from! I suggest simple adjustments like eating lots of animal fat, less soy, less bread, less fruits, and cook your vegetables. Finding good meat, butter, and milk should be your top priority. |

Eat less fastfood and drink less soda.
Learn how to cook dishes that include heathly items like vegetables and fish. Salmon is good for you, I try to eat at least once a week. Toast (wheat bread) and/or cereal is always the best breakfast. Lettuce has little nutriional value. Choose veggies that are of a dark green color. Drink juice or milk in place of soda. Etc. |

Make sure there are not preservatives added. |

Highly recommended: [/ QUOTE ] I have heard about this guy, isn't he some sort of fraudster or convicted felon? Yea, I know the book was (or is) a bestseller, but does the author have any training in nutrition, medicine, etc? I am always very leary when someone refers to "they" (especially in the title of a book), as if the whole bit is one big conspiracy. |

Highly recommended: [/ QUOTE ] Highly recommended to give as a gift to people you hate. It includes numerous instances of dangerous advice. For instance, you will be interested to learn that sun exposure does not cause skin cancer, but rather sun screen and sun block do. Trudeau is a well-known criminal fraud. You have been duped. |
