Description: Hello my friends, I want to be extra-super-clear that these are the choices that have worked for me. There are many, many, many people who eat and live differently from the way I do, and that’s okay! That said, I’ve gotten to know my body and my metabolism very well over the years. What I’ve learned is that my body (affected by years of caloric restriction, hypothyroidism, and chronic fatigue) thrives on a diet of whole plant foods that excludes the foods and dietary patterns mentioned in this video. If I include these foods in my diet, I gain weight (often very quickly). Since I value maintaining my health (which, in my scientifically-informed opinion, includes maintaining my weight), I happily choose to eat the way I do. Does this mean you have to eat the same way? Absolutely not! Does this mean you’re a bad person (or doomed to “fail”) if you eat the foods I mention in this video? Absolutely not! You get to choose the way you prefer to nourish yourself, just like I do. This video is my attempt to be absolutely honest about the way I choose to maintain my health and weight. Because I believe information is power. When we have authentic information, we have access to data that allows us to make informed choices. When we are informed, we are truly empowered to make choices that align with our deepest values and current goals. ——————— Polenta Pizza Recipe video: youtube.com/watch?v=TVGKmzyIj9c Banana-Oat Cookies Recipe video: youtube.com/watch?v=6qtpSCLsvaw Advanced Glycation End Products video: youtube.com/watch?v=xOiIyE6fyFc My Favorite Teas video: youtube.com/watch?v=hdlBAQrJs4s My Favorite Bean Recipes video: youtube.com/watch?v=ik7Ckdd5MqQ -------------------- Here are some of my favorite information resources for Easy, Permanent, Health-Enhancing weight loss strategies (check out your local library or pick up your own copies): How Not to Diet: amzn.to/3xGxzLW How Not to Diet Cookbook: amzn.to/3j0zqHd How Not to Die: amzn.to/3j0aUWx How Not to Die Cookbook: amzn.to/2UoGPWC The End of Dieting: amzn.to/3xDUV4x ------------------- Important Note: Please remember that no video or opinion could ever take the place of the advice of a qualified medical professional.
