I fill the fridge with what we want to eat and what we want to eat is healthy food. That way neither of us worry! So we'd be a 1.
Everything in the fridge is plant based, little sweeteners, no salt or very little, no added oils. They call it WF whole food PB plant based, SOS, no salt oil or sugar. WFPBsos
When we switched from our unhealthy diet, to our plant based diet, our health improved, weight was lost, better sleep, less aches and pains, no more prediabetes, vast improvement in lipid levels, we stopped having stomach and gerd issues. I spent probably 2-3 hours a day each morning for 2 years learning about healthy eating mostly following the advice from healthy people, healthy doctors, and healthy populations. 5 years now and we're much healthier.
Do I listen to experts on social media or the news programs or websites-not much. Most of what we base our diets on were studied in the past 60 years, much of it is old science, nothing ground breaking and not selling anything, so it doesn't usually 'make news'. Broccoli doesn't make news and there is no industry involved in promoting broccoli.
The doctors we do listen to know about nutrition. Most doctors don't get more than 20 hours in nutrition study, so they don't know, they 'don't judge', nor do they consider nutrition while formulating their prescriptions, treatments, or procedures for you. Nutritional advice doesn't make money for doctors so why should they bother. Unless you are dying of malnutrition, there's no code for it, they can't bill for it. The US population is dying of over nutrition.
There's no magic pill. I watched 5 lbs get added to my weight every year through my early 50's and I thought I'd be a boat by my 60's and something needed to change. Now I weigh 127 at 5 feet 6.5 inches. I'm sadly watching my relatives get sick and obese and die off this way. I get to hear about doctor appointments and hospitalizations and that isn't how I want my later years.
Mr bliss went to get his implant with an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon looked at his chart and said, 'you must be 60' (he's 73). He was looking at someone with no prescriptions. After the implant he said it went well and his gums were healthy and the underlying structure (bone) was excellent. He lucked out on the bone structure but the gums and health are due to his improved diet.
Do we eat things that are not healthy for us? Once in a while. This week, we're eating some m&ms, not really a food, and not good for us, but, yum.
