                       My Nutrition Philosophy

There's not just one "perfect" diet--there are many ways to eat nutritiously.  If the bulk of your foods are as close to their natural state as possible (fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seafood, poultry and not many processed foods), odds are, you have a healthy diet.  That said, I make room for chocolate, a glass of wine, and other indulgences; c'mon, you've got to live a little!

But natural shouldn't mean boring.  I love to cook, go out to eat, try new foods; in short, I just love food!

                                                                      talented collaborator,  Sidra Forman, are definitely not your typical "diet food"!
