“Let food be your medicine.”  ~ Hippocrates

Everyone should be on a diet. For me, that diet consists of just a few rules. 

1. If it’s healthy and natural, eat it.
2. If it’s not healthy, don’t eat it – even if it tastes good.
3. Moderation in all things.
4. Avoid wheat whenever possible.
5. Avoid any processed food whenever possible.
6. Avoid sugar or too much fruit.

A healthy diet should give you energy, make your skin glow, and keep you at a reasonable weight. If that is not you, then something is likely out of whack in your diet. Experiment and become aware of how you feel. A poor diet sets you up for health problems and unhappiness. Don’t put crap in your body just because it’s convenient or tastes good. Do the work of eating clean and you’ll likely reap the rewards of health, energy, and vigor. All the other stuff in this book won’t count for much if you feel lousy and your health is collapsing. 

Two books that I highly recommend are:

1. Wheat Belly by William Davis, MD
2. Grain Brain by David Perlmutter, MD

I’ve applied their teaching to my diet with very positive results. Try it rigidly for 30 days and see if you get the same results I did.
