Food Rules to Live By

New York Times author, Michael Pollan, has pulled together 20 solid and practical eating rules of thumb. Here are some of my favorite advices from his article for eating better and healthier.

• If you’re not hungry enough to eat an apple, then you’re not hungry.
• The Chinese have a saying: “Eat until you are seven-tenths full and save the other three-tenths for hunger.” That way, food always tastes good, and you don’t eat too much.
• No second helpings, no matter how scrumptious.
• Make and take your own lunch to work [...] It saves money, and you know what you are eating.
• Avoid snacks foods with the “OH” sound in their names: Doritos, Fritos, Cheetos, Tostitos, Hostess Ho Hos, etc.
