Mark Bittman and Micheal Pollan are on the forefront of the movement to make sense of what and how we eat; that's why they can keep their messages so short; eat food, not too much, mostly plants.
The books they have written, including Mark Bittman's latest, Food Matters, elaborate on this theme. In case you are not to sure exactly what they mean by plants and what real food is. Here's Mark Bittman's interpretation:
"Eat less meat, and fewer animal products in general. Eat fewer refined carbohydrates, like white bread, cookies, white rice, and pretzels. Eat way less junk food: soda, chips, snack food, candy, and so on. And eat far more vegetables, legumes, fruits, and whole grains—as much as you can."
This is how he did it for himself; "At first, I simply eliminated as much junk food and overrefined carbs as I could, along with a sizable percentage of animal products. All this turned out to be easy enough, for a couple of reasons. One, when I did allow myself to eat meat, or dairy, eggs, sugar, or bread made from white flour (usually at dinner), I ate whatever I wanted, and as much of it as I wanted. And two, I started to lose weight, quite quickly—a big boost of positive reinforcement."
And the results of his experiment were that he lost weight and saw his cholesterol and blood sugar improve dramatically.
Now there is one catch, Mark Bittman is a world renowned chef and probably likes to cook.. a lot. But if you don't then you will be happy to know that these are the principles and philosophy that Personal Fit Meal Catering adheres to. Just including our meals into your work week and supplementing with your personal favorites (if any of its junk food, I guarantee you'll be eating less of it) whenever you see fit, will have an impact on your health and well-being. Plus it's easy; less grocery shopping, less cooking and more life.
