I just finished the book Food Rules
Here are some of my favorite rules:
- #2: Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
- #5: Avoid foods that have some form of sugar (or sweetener) listed among the top 3 ingredients. (I like this rule because the book lists the clever terminology the food manufacturers use to disguise sugar in their products!)
- #11: Avoid foods you see advertised on television. (If you think about it, broccoli doesn't buy air time.)
- #39: Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.
- #46: Stop eating before you're full. (As opposed to eating until you're full, which is what I currently do! Pollan suggests asking yourself "Is my hunger gone?" rather than "Am I full?")
- #54: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper.
- #63: Cook.
Posts that are coming soon: How to make naan bread and lentil tikka masala; my first attempt at making a peach pie; why I am a vegetarian; photos from Tubb's Hill hike round 2 (photos that will make you want to move to CDA are promised weather permitting)
Stay tuned!
