This is such a hard topic to describe in one posting!
Leigh definitely has the right idea.
A good thing I tell my patients is to count good
nutrition on one hand.
Thumb-Fruits and Veggies
Index-Lean Protein
Middle-Whole Grains
Ring-Low
fat dairy
Pinky-Moderation
This seems to make it really simple.
My theory is that
nutrition has to be PERSONALIZED to everyones lifestyle, food preferences, culture etc.
Although all sound
nutrition advice can work for anyone, personalizing it makes it actually happen.
