"Now I only have two kinds of days...good days and great days." Lance Armstrong

Hope you had a great holiday season. As we start in our 2012 routines I thought I would share thoughts from a book called. In Defense of Food, by Michael Pollan

This book mostly goes over how we should eat plant based foods. You might already know most of the things on this list, but with the new year I thought it would fun to post. I won't get into great detail on the list, if it interests you I'm sure you can find this book.

Avoid Food Products containing ingredients that are A) Unfamiliar B) Unpronounceable C)More than Five in number D) High-Fructose Corn Syrup.

Avoid food products that make claims.

Shop the peripheries of the supermarket and stay out of the middle (essentially we need to be in the middle for survival bread, soups, condiments, ect)

Eat mostly plants, especially leaves (we are not vegetarians in our house, but I agree it's a good idea for lots of veggies)

You are what your Eat eats too.

Eat well-grown food from healthy soils.

Eat wild foods when you can.

Be the kind of person who takes supplements.

Eat more like the French, or the Italians, or the Japanese or Greeks.

Don't get your fuel from the same place your car does.

Eat slowly.

Cook and if you can plant a garden

In conjunction with my training we are always trying to learn more on how to eat better. These are some things that we are already doing and want to add. Adam plans to expand our garden this year with foods we enjoy daily.
