RE: Questioning the Standard American Diet for Health, Performance, and Longevity: Part 3 of 3
Personally I'm avoiding gluten and all kind of junk foods - But I really love to eat home made pizza from time to time. I used to eat meat everyday but now I'm eating it like twice a week - when I feel like it. I'm not vegetarian, vegan and I'm not following any particular diet. I'm just listening to my organism - when I feel bad after eating something I'll probably don't eat it again. I eat a lot of vegatables, fruits , nuts, eggs and instead of meat I usually eat some high protein vegetables like lentil or chickpea or oily fishes. Just follow the simple rule: The less food is processed the healthier it is.
This sounds really familiar. It's pretty much how my wife and I are handling it. I've been off sodas and fast food for more than a decade, and we have minimized packaged, processed foods. We're not veg either, but we've dipped our toes in and find we feel a lot better when we rely on plants more than animal proteins. This may very well be age-related, but I kind of wish I'd started moving this way much earlier.
Thanks for your input. I hope whatever you choose continues to keep you and your healthy.
