It is very often the case that the most simple approach to many things in life, is often the most effective, and this is certainly the case with eating healthily as the # 1 Rule is also the simplest.
I think it is important to understand that food science and marketing in recent decades has crowded all of the REAL food out of our grocery stores to the point that at LEAST 90% of everything in a modern-day grocery store is NOT true food anymore...
The so-called "food" that lines our grocery store shelves nowadays is better termed -- "Edible Food-Like Substances", as the highly respected nutrition journalist Michael Pollan calls it.
Our food supply has become so overly processed, that it's not uncommon for a simple snack food to contain a list of 20-30 ingredients of additives, chemicals, flavourings, colourings, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, artificial sweeteners, and more.
However, it CAN be easy to avoid ALL of this junk by following 1 simple rule of eating healthy... and that is:
Eat only foods that have 1 ingredient.
Drop dead simple!
This means sticking almost solely to these:
Eggs, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, berries, fish and white and red meats (only grass fed beef)
For example, almost everything I’ll eat most days will have 1 ingredient, although perhaps mixed together:
Scramnbled eggs with advocado for breakfast (If I have breakfast,as I usually fats till 1pm)
Salmon and salad for lunch
Snack on berries, and nuts in the afternoon
Steak (grass fed), green veggies or salad for dinner
Now this is healthy fat-burning nutrition made easy!
Pretty simple stuff, and all made from single ingredients instead of processed food packages with 30 ingredients or more.
Do I eat like this 100% of the time... no.... BUT, if you can stick to this 1-ingredient rule at least 80-90% of the time, it is actually VERY simple to get as healthy and as lean as you want!
Yours in health,
Dirk Hansen.
