We all eat. We all know that some foods are better for us than others, and we all know that the foods we crave are usually not the foods that are good for us! Theory is great, but practice is better. This book is all about putting nutrition and food science theory to use in your life. Learn which foods to eat and which to avoid, and why. This book will help you understand food and nutrition science, and guide you through making the years of research work for you and your health. Practice makes perfect, routine is the best practice! This food guide will help you create food rules to live by and make a diet plan that's balanced, nutritious, and keeps you engaged. The book will explain how to ditch the added sugars and enjoy the natural flavors of food, and help you set up a food plan for a balanced, unprocessed life. It also details the use of fasting in your diet, and explains how mindfulness and mental rest can help you reach your goals. Best of all, this book doesn't just tell you to eat or avoid certain things, it gives you a detailed, scientific reason why you should or should not have certain foods and drinks in your meal plan. No more 'because I said so' or 'according to x blogger'. Everything in these pages is backed by food and nutrition science, explained simply and broken down to easily digestible bites. That's not to say the process is easy. You're training your own mind to enjoy the taste of unsweetened, unprocessed, untainted foods, and that takes time and energy. Everything will be explained in positive, simple steps you can take to better your life. This book is for the reader who wants to eat well and live better, but who wasn't sure where or how to start. This is the starting line. Get ready. Get set... Go!
