What do I eat? What should you eat?

Food.  Real food.  Minimally processed.  Mostly plant based.  Not too much, but enough.  Some fat, some sweet, some bitter.  Perhaps a little wine.  Not much meat, but yes to fish.  This is how I eat.  It's how I feed my family.  It's what the experts recommend...

Dr. David Katz sums it up beautifully in an Atlantic article based on his most recent study. 

"A diet of minimally processed foods close to nature, predominantly plants, is decisively associated with health promotion and disease prevention."

He suggests that 50-80% of diseases could be prevented through nutrition and lifestyle change alone.  That's powerful information.  This weekend is a great time to start.  Go to the farmer's market.  Turn over your pantry, freezer, fridge and replace what's there with what should be there.  Or restock if you're already making the right choices.   A registered dietitian nutritionist is a great person to help you implement the latest recommendations.  It's one thing to know what you should do, it's another to actually do it.  Working with a pro is an investment.  Imagine how much money you will save on medication and medical intervention.  Be healthy!
