Eat Real Unprocessed Food

One of the most basic rules in nutrition that everyone should adhere to is to eat real unprocessed food. Remember that the quality of the food you eat is what matters the most. By eating real unprocessed food you will be eating vegetables, meats, nuts, oils, and some fruit. If you stick to these foods and avoid all of the other stuff you will be doing better than most.

I can hear the questions now. What about fiber one bars or pasta? The answer is simple, these foods are processed so you would do better by avoiding them. If you look at the consequences of eating these foods then you would probably realize that you would be better off eating real food.

Many people have been tricked by clever marketing to think that processed foods are healthy. They are not. We are made to eat real food and fiber one bar or kashi cereal are not real food.

Great post! Unfortunately, for many people, processed food is easy to grab when you're hungry so many folks rely on it for a quick snack or meal.

Bob and I have really changed our eating habits over the last two years. Our shopping cart looks so different than everyone elses; cabbage(!), kale, broccoli, spinach, beets, peppers, onions, raw carrots, celery, beef or buffalo, seafood, chicken, organic coffee; dairy is out now and so is wheat, water is in. There are occasional off times when we eat something processed. When we do eat processed food and sweets, we feel it right away, kind of dizzy or really blah and loggy.
