EAT LESS PROCESSED FOOD AND MORE FRESH FOODS

NOTE: I realize that right now during this COVID-19 crisis we, especially those with families to feed, are buying and eating what we can get and maybe more processed foods because they will keep better. However, when possible it would be wise to follow this advice from Ms Ansel.

Very good advice from Registered Dietitian Karen Ansel:

"Highly processed packaged foods aren’t nearly as satisfying, because whole foods take longer to chew and digest," says nutrition consultant Karen Ansel, MS, RD. "So eating fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meats and low fat dairy means you’re a lot less likely to overeat compared to a burger or pizza which you can wolf down in minutes."

Something so simple that could have a profound influence on your diet, thus on your weight and health!
