So now I go to eat and I second guess my choices! I gotta get through this book. Essentially all 've got for advice right now is Fiber, Fruit and Vegetables.
The other downside is that the book seems targeted at people who are obease and don't exercise. I'm obviously going to be left with some changes to make for my active lifestyle (9-11 hours of riding on average per week, sometimes much more).
I'm reading that book right now too...probably about 100 pages into it.
I don't know what you mean though....he talks about obesity but more about how eating right proactively keeps you safer from cancer and heart disease (I think he talks more about that than he does obesity) and the bad American diet but states in almost every other sentence to eat fruits and vegetables and foods with no/little fat and in their "natural" state (e.g. ix-nay on the preservatives).
It's a great book....I've been slow to reading it as I've been super busy lately, but I've been starting to eat much more veggies and fruits and cutting out the dairy and fats and preservatives, etc... and have lost 25 pounds in about 6-8 weeks.
