Diet or Lifestyle?

We’ve all heard about (and many of us have tried) passing fads like “Atkins: Turn your body into a fat-burning machine,” or the recent best-seller “Wheat Belly: Lose the wheat, lose the weight.”

Some sources say meat is the enemy, some dairy, others grains…. it’s easy to become overwhelmed by all the opposing arguments.

For some, diet is not a punishment but a broader attitude about life and health.

Check out this great blog about food and nutrition by Melissa McEwen. She reviews hot-topic diet books like “Wheat Belly” and “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” and uses her background in agricultural sciences for an honest approach on food in our everyday lives - including her assertion that there is no one perfect diet; different people have different needs.

Makes sense!
