I like to emphasize the importance of doing your own research to improve your health. Many doctors today are uneducated about the medical science behind nutrition and the profound negative effects our food choices can have on our health. I was shocked to learn that doctors on average receive only 4 hours of nutritional science in medical school.
A few things I've learned:
BOOKS you should read or listen to:
The Big Fat Surprise
Delay Don’t Deny
Fast, Feast, Repeat
The Obesity Code
The Diabetes Code
The Complete Guide to Fasting
Dinner Plans-Eat Vintage
Lies My Doctor Told Me
The Salt Fix
A few things I've learned:
- No food manufacturer cares about your health. They are only interested in profit and creating a product that is palatable and shelf stable.
- We should not eat more than 3 meals a day. Our meals should all take place within and 8 hour time period.
- Healthy, natural fats are good for us. Butter, eggs, properly raised animal protein with fat are all good for us.
- Seed oils are very inflammatory. They are in almost every highly processed packed food available.
- Your body is self regulating when it comes to salt. Your body will eliminate excess salt.
- Low salt can actually increase your insulin resistance.
- Sugar is the white powder that we should be most concerned about.
- Sugar makes you hungry
- We are not meant to be obese.
