Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!

If you've vowed to improve your diet in 2010, this post is for you.  Eating more healthily doesn't have to be complicated but it can require that you change your thinking about food.  Consider this approach to eating:



It can be quite simple.  Base your diet on fruits, vegetables, beans/legumes, with some whole grains and nuts.  Limit all animal products, oils, processed foods, and sweets.

This food pyramid was created by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, who is also the author of many books related to nutrition, diet, and health.

Reading one of his books, Eat to Live, changed my life.  By adopting his suggested eating approach, I lost 25 lbs almost effortlessly.



If you're ready to be inspired to change your eating habits, I highly recommend reading Eat to Live.  Dr. Fuhrman's scientific approach to nutrient-density makes a lot of sense.  The book includes a beginning six  week plan including recipes.

Since then, Dr. Fuhrman has also published a two book set, Eat for Health, that offers a more gradual way to change your eating habits, including a four phase approach with lots of recipes.



Many have found his phased approach to changing cooking and eating habits is an excellent way to move their diets from the standard American diet which is full of fat and cholesterol, and often devoid of nutrition to a more healthful approach which promotes well being and weight loss.
