We take botanical extracts BECAUSE they contain nasty things like bone or tendon. On a molecular level what does real food mean? Is it in reference to preservatives? Is it about processed food containing gross things like bone and tendon? I genuinely mean no offense by this but 'eat real food' is a well intended, generally correct, but patently false concept. My friends who went off to college and couldn't cook all gained weight eating terrible cafeteria or fast food. It's cheaper, healthier, and you'll impress friends and dates. If you're feeling truly adventurous, ask if they have a non-American or whatever country you're from menu.ДЄnd I have to run, but learning to cook for yourself will be so important once you're no longer living at home. I don't know what country you live in, but a lot of ethnic restaurants will cater to the country's taste (American Chinese is sweet and greasy, and rarely is it as good as what you can find in China). If you don't like it, be polite about it and try it again in a few years. Go to ethnic restaurants you've never been to and ask the owners what their favorite dishes are. This is purely personal opinion, but I've found that people with an open mind toward food, who try new foods, are generally more interesting people. Learn to cook for yourself.Д®ating healthy when you're young (and getting regular exercise) will be better for your overall health in the long run. It's good you're thinking about this now, especially if your parents aren't. 'Eat food' means to eat real food - vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and, yes, fish and meat - and to avoid what Pollan calls 'edible food-like substances.'

Probably the first two words are most important. Pollan says everything he's learned about food and health can be summed up in seven words: 'Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.' Good, basic advice from Michael Pollan about eating well can be found here, but the gist is this: The fiber in a whole fruit slows the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream thus not spiking your insulin levels as much and also avoiding the huge sugar crash afterwards that encourages the vicious cycle of eating still more sugary foods.ДЄnother great video of his to watch is 'Fat Chance' He concludes that sugar is in a very real sense a poison when eaten in the amounts that many people consume it today, and the eating of sugary foods, especially high fructose corn syrup loaded soft drinks are the primary culprit for the obesity epidemic.Дrinking orange juice or other sugar loaded juice is as bad for you as drinking soda. Meanwhile insulin is helping turn those sugar calories into body fat. Eating concentrated sugar or HFCS causes blood sugar levels to spike and then crash.which then makes the person crave even more sugar which just spikes blood sugar again etc. In addition sugar is highly addictive.as addictive as cocaine and Dr.

Large amounts of sugar, especially HFCS actually spikes your insulin dramatically and one of the major results of that is that your body then creates more body fat than if you ate a lower sugar diet that kept your insulin levels low and even. Fat eaten is more likely to be burned as energy whereas sugar and especially high fructose corn syrup is more directly turned into fat in the body because of the insulin flooding into the blood stream due to the rapidly rising blood sugar. This was done because at the time it was thought that eating fatty foods was the main culprit in people becoming fat themselves. He basically shows that by the government's changes to the food pyramid in the 1970s and the recommendation to eat 'low fat' it led food companies to greatly increase the amount of sugar in their now popular 'low fat' processed foods to make up for the flat and cardboard taste of not having any fat in them. He's one of the leading voices educating people about the misguided food pyramid and ensuing sugar addiction that has been making Americans fat for decades.
