Habits of Health Chapter 8 - Dr.A's Healthy Eating System

The next three chapters are designed to give you an in-depth understand- ing of how to make healthy selections with all your food choices. I designed this system to make habits of healthy eating easy to learn, and over time they will become automatic. You’ll discover new ways to think about food, includ- ing whole new ways to shop, prepare food, and eat. Our goal is to make healthy eating so easy, so portable, and so satisfying that you’ll no longer be tempted by food industry tricks—like those flashing yellow and red signs that stimulate appetite. Those all-too-familiar golden arches will just seem to disappear! You’ll also set the foundation for new eating habits that will support your new healthy weight for the rest of your life. And as a bonus, as you learn to eat healthy, you’ll awaken sensations of taste, smell, sight, and texture that have been dulled by the illusionary satisfaction the food industry creates by way of bulk, salt, fat, and high-fructose corn syrup.
