6 Rules for Eating Wisely

Rule #1. Don't eat anything your great-great-great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. Eat food, not food products.

Rule #2. Avoid foods containing high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). It's not just in cereals and soft drinks but also in ketchup and bologna, baked goods, soups and salad dressings.

Rule # 3. Spend more, eat less. All this "cheap food" is making us fat and sick. It's also bad for the health of the environment.

Rule #4. Pay no attention to nutrition label or the health claims on packages.

Rule # 5. Shop at the farmers' market. Eat foods in season, when they are at the peak of their nutritional value and flavor.

Rule # 6. How you eat is as important as what you eat. Eat moderate portions, don't go for seconds or snacks between meals, never eat alone. But perhaps most important, eat with pleasure, because eating with anxiety leads to poor digestion and bingeing.
