3 Easy Rules of Thumb

With all the fad diets out there, and if you've read my blog you've seen I've tried many, at the end of the day there is only a handful of rules that if you follow you'll be on the right track to eating healthy the easy way.

1. If you can't figure out the ingredients, don't put it in your mouth. For instance, that twinkie you've been eying at the 7-Eleven near you isn't an option. I don't know what Sorbic Acid is and I heard that it actually is derived from natural gas. Gross.

2. If it naturally grows from soil, with the exception of various drugs and poisonous things, it probably is good for you.

2a. It's probably even better for you closest to it's natural state from the soil. I.e. whole apples as opposed to apple juice.

3. If it comes from the ocean it's probably a good source of lean protein.

3a. If it's a white meat, it's probably also a good source of lean protein.
