Processed food is garbage, even when tightly sealed in the “healthy” veneer of a Weight-Watchers or Kashi package.

Want a highly nutritious, effective and thoughtless nutrition plan?

Buy and prepare only one-ingredient foods that come directly from the earth to your shopping cart – produce, meat, nuts, whole grains.  (Sweet potato is the only ingredient in a sweet potato)

Eat them in varied combinations – in each meal have some meat or protein source, produce and or whole grains, and some nuts, in moderation, if desired.  There are a lot of complex reasons behind why certain foods in certain combinations are ideal for staying lean and healthy, but really, if you eat just a variety of whole foods (the ones both your mother and mother nature insist are good for you), you don’t need to worry about all that.
