My Diet

My three fundamental eating beliefs:

1. The quality of your health is a reflection of the quality of your food.  Yes, you really are what you eat.
2. One person's food is another person's poison.  Identifying food sensitivities and understanding your unique body type is critical for effective health.
3. Diets don't work.  You must tune into what your body needs and start eating for energy!

My Diet

Here are my eating guidelines:

• Quality food guidelines

  • Avoid processed, packaged food; sodas; sweets; and fast food.

• Food v. Poison - my 'poison' foods are:

  • Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers)
  • Eggs
