Nutrition
Dr. Baker firmly believes you are what you eat. Here are some rules to live by:
If God didn’t make it, don’t eat it.
Eat fresh foods. If it can’t rot, don’t eat it.
Look for foods with five ingredients or less.
If a food item has ingredients that a third grader can’t pronounce, don’t eat it.
Stay away from high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenateds oils and artificial sweeteners.
Non-fat foods often have increased sugar content to increase flavor. Rather than boost your insulin release, go for the full-fat, but just do it in moderation.
Speaking of moderation, that is the key. You don’t have to completely deprive yourself of the things you love to eat, just partake in the “bad stuff” in moderation.
Because the Standard American Diet (SAD) typically does not consist of the nutrients necessary for vitality, Dr. Baker often times encourages her patients to take supplements such as a high quality multivitamin, fish oil, Vitamin D, to name a few. Recommendations depend on the individual and their eating habits.
