Lecture Summary
This 2 part series will discuss what to eat for weight loss, wellness, as well as improving and sometimes even curing chronic medical conditions. The ideas around diet are simple! Staying on a diet long term is the difficult part.
Key Points
- Combine dietary changes with exercise, stress reduction, and social support for the best chance of long term success. Love yourself and let the good food you put in your body be a manifestation of that love.
- The best diet for any person is the diet they can stick to.
- Reducing the total number of calories consumed over long periods of time will lead to weight loss.
- GMOs are not intrinsically harmful. However, what companies have actually done with GMOs is. This is why I try and eat mostly organic foods when avaialable.
- Processed foods are often high in sugars, salt, fat, and calories. They are designed to keep us wanting more. Say no to cheap, high-calorie, low-nutrient, processed foods.
