I like the whole food based diet; essentially buying fresh items simple ingredients. Stick to the meat and produce isles, maybe go to the butchers or bakery for local meat and bread, and a greengrocers for local veg. Make things like sauces from scratch. I enjoy cooking which helps. I believe that no matter what Scientists decide are good/bad for that particular year I'm going to be okay because it's simple, fresh, and rarely processed.
A lack of knowledge about cooking is imo the single biggest cause of health issues in the United States. People generally know that real food is healthier, but it’s not convenient and they don’t know how to cook so it’s really not even an option most of the time.
Knowing how to cook doesn't solve the underlying problem driving someone to use food as a drug.
I had laid many pots of Boeuf Bourguinon on my family's dinner table before I started shoving Big Macs into my face every night when I hit rock bottom.
Yeah I guess I just did that in the reverse order so my perspective is a bit different lol
I suppose this is something I mainly notice with people < 30. Chipotle is about the healthiest thing they eat & they legitimately have no idea how to cook. I didn’t really begin to learn or do it until I was 27 and pre-diabetic & that started turning things around for me pretty much immediately.
