I read about a diet book that promises to be good and supports what I know to be true. Essentially, its main principle is to eat foods rich in fiber. I’m in 100% agreement. Foods that contain fiber are foods that haven’t been processed. They are real foods, ones that don’t come with a label. If a food has a label it has been processed in some way. If a food has been processed, something has been taken out, mainly nutrition and fiber, and something else has been added, mainly artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.
It doesn’t make any sense to take the good nutrition out of food and replace it with artificial chemicals. Why not just eat food the way it was originally created? That is easier, less expensive, and less harmful to your body and the environment.
If the majority of your diet comprises real, colorful foods that don’t have a label and you cook them simply and dress them lightly, you will be getting all of the nutrition you need for optimum health and weight. Eating for health and weight really is simple.
Cooking is easier than you think and you and your family are worth the time and effort it takes.
