There is nothing on earth more important than your body, your health. With a little knowledge, there is nothing in life you have more power, more control over. If you are tired of feeling bad, stop eating badly. Most of what we eat most of: only a human mistakes this stuff for food. Distinguish real, satisfying food from the mere flavored packing material that keeps you hungry. If you`ve been on every diet twice and are going crazy, I can give you a path to Peace in the Kitchen.

Experience in the area

In the late '80's my weight up and down reached a crisis. Arthritus in my back made it painfull to move. Balancing blood sugar had me eating more often. Eating more, moving less, miserable. My doctor smiled, said "just move more and eat less". This from a medical professional about to burst his buttons. Not a working plan. I knew I had to write my own, so I started researching what was new to put with what sorta worked for me in the past. Eat protein, eat carbs, just not at the same time. Never go around hungry, listen to your body, it can tell you what it needs.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Our ancestors ate Real Food and did not have diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol problems and their bone were massive. These problems came with refined sugar.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

"Emotional Eating" is just passing the buck. When you get what you need, you don't overeat. When you don't get what you need, you overeat, have emotional and many more problems. Emotions aren't the source, they are a symptom.
