NUTRITION TIP: 1,500 calories of processed food has a completely different effect on your body than 1,500 calories of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean cuts of meat and whole grains. The fiber and most of the nutrients are removed from most processed foods like snack bars, crackers, bagels, chips, bread, muffins and cereal, so when you eat these foods your body recognizes them as sugar, spiking your insulin and causing you to crave more food. (I am also talking about the processed food that comes in a box with all of the health claims on the front. If a processed food claims it is fortified with this vitamin and that nutrient, keep in mind that several nutrients were also removed, that is why it is now fortified.) Organic whole foods that have not been processed are loaded with fiber and nutrients that help you feel full and satisfied and provide the building blocks to all of your living cells.
