To Eat and What to Eat-That is a Big Question!
Ahhh! The constantly evolving food debate. What to eat, when to eat, why to eat and how to eat it.
The experts tell us that diets make up a 20 billion dollar revenue every year in the U.S. weight-loss industry, including diet books, diet drugs and weight-loss surgeries. Further, that 108 million people are on diets in the US at any given time. The industry continues to grow at a rapid pace, thanks to our want and need to finally find what works and make it a permanent lifestyle companion.
It is my belief that we should eat what works best for our own individual bodies. Keeping in mind that bio-individuality plays a huge part in what you can and should eat for the long and short term. What works for one person in your home, might very well be making another unwell. If you are trying to eat what everyone around you does and you are finding that you never feel satiated or physically well after you eat, perhaps it’s time to revisit your food choices. If that is the case, let’s connect, I can help. My personal choice is to eat fresh, local, not too much and organic whenever possible. This is not to say that I do not struggle, hell yes I do. I am a constantly evolving work in progress and proud of it! I share this with you to add some food for thought and perhaps some insight as to what may work for you.
Enjoy,

Despite the buzz about paleo and raw food diets, a new ranking of the 35 top diets puts these two near the bottom of the list.
Why?
The U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on evaluations by a panel of doctors, nutritionists and other health experts. For each diet, the experts evaluated short-term and long-term weight loss, ease of adherence, and how the advice stacked up against current dietary guidelines. The experts also considered health risks.
And when it comes to paleo, or the caveman diet, the verdict is that eating the way our hunter-gatherer ancestors did is not very realistic. Read more here
