Rule # 1 - EAT FOOD

These days this is easier said than done, especially when seventeen thousand new products show up in the supermarket each year, all vying for your food dollar. But most of these items don't deserve to be called food - I call them edible food-like substances. They're highly processed concoctions designed by food scientists, consisting mostly of ingredients derived from corn and soy that no normal person keeps in the pantry, and they contain chemical additives with which the human body has not been long acquainted. Today much of the challenge of eating well comes down to choosing real food and avoiding these industrial novelties.


My thoughts - I have cut out a lot of processed foods, but I still eat some, like tortilla chips (I love chips and salsa), Chex Mix, graham crackers. But, when I do eat something like this I can definitely tell that my body isn't happy. Eating real food is the way to go!
