Everyone is unique, has different health conditions, allergies, needs. Do what's right and works for you. Jenny does not advocate nor prescribe any specific diets or foods for health conditions. She DOES advocate simplifying our relationship with food— eating real, minimally processed food that is satisfying and nutritious, using common sense, moderation, and improved skills. If you have a chronic health condition or are making big changes in your diet or activities, it is always a good idea to talk with your health care advocate and/or dietician to start.
