Those of you who know me are aware that I promote a whole foods diet that does NOT include grains. I get many questions regarding “The China Study”–please read the well-referenced information in this link which points out the fallacies of his conclusions.

Eating For Energy
Another article that again points us to WHOLE foods in order to optimize energy. Meats, fish, poultry, veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, and eggs are power-packed (and much easier on your budget than power drinks and pills!). Skip the grains, though!!
Primal Diet News
This is a fantastic pod-cast with Nora Gedgaudas, CNS, CNT, regarding her diet recommendations. She is the author of “Primal Body, Primal Mind” which is I highly recommend reading.

Aspartame is essentially poison. Quit consuming it–I mince no words about this one. If you are pregnant, click here to learn more.

Diet as Medicine
Love this “diary” of a formerly-diabetic chef and the use of diet as medicine! Our food choices can either injure us or heal us! This is good news–it puts each of us in the driver’s seat for our health!!

If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to try this approach: replacing meat with mushrooms for one meal per day has been associated with weight loss. Do be sure to cook ALL mushrooms prior to eating however.
