To Eat or Not to Eat

It is very confusing. I have read many diet books. All the books agree on a few common points. We need to curb our calorie intake at each meal and throughout the day. That does not mean you go hungry. The books also agree the most organic and naturally grown food you can eat, the better for you. I don't ask my patients to become vegetarians but I do ask them that if they eat red meat, eat a good quality of red meat. The closer you can get to eating meat, poultry, and fish without the by-products of steroids, or antibiotics the better you are. There are many web sites, which offer these kinds of natural foods.

The other points the nutrition and weight loss books agree upon are:
˜ No partially hydrogenateted foods
˜ No high fructose corn syrup
˜ Decrease white sugar consumption
˜ Decrease white flour consumption
˜ Decrease starches
˜ Eat more green vegetables
˜ Drink water throughout the day
˜ Stay away from salt and fat laden foods

Start your nutrition lifestyle change now. Don't wait until after Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Summer vacation, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas... get my drift?
