Q and A on nutrition/diet

My friend asked me today: do you have a suggestion for someone that has a terrible diet at this point to get started on a healthy sustainable diet. Both good for me and environmentally/economically sustainable. A starter diet if you will. Weight loss and colon cleansing would be natural outcomes but even necessarily the central motivation....also, honestly there is no doubt I could use both.

And I answered: strait and to the point... the more cow you eat, the less susainable your diet... the more cow you eat.. including dairy.. the less fiber you are eating and therefore increasing your risk for heart related disease. the cow is not all america has cracked it up to be.

Refuse to eat high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils... these are the simplest ingredients to look for on any package and if they are absent... the product is most likely "healthy"... eat as much whole food as possible.. most of it raw. (a big salad every day.. minus the cheese/bacon/creamy dressings)

Regarding your appetite... focus on 64 oz of water and 40 grams of fiber (remember there is no fiber in animal food and dairy)... this takes care of appetite...trick is to ALWAYs have a snack with you. Eat Less More Often... Pay more, eat less (local farm market... right now you buy spinach/lettuce/organic free range eggs)

Regarding the organic issue: first things to tackle are corn and soy... environmentally, these are raping our land... so buy organic corn and soy as much as possible.
