I checked this book out of the library and stopped reading it.

The premise is scientifically sound. The reason I didn’t read it is because the M.D. author wrote: “Shop the perimeter of the supermarket.”

In my view no one should be going in person to a market to shop for food unless they’re NOT buying processed food and not buying food with chemicals listed as natural flavor in the ingredients.

I didn’t like that the author conceded that it’s okay to shop in the perimeter. Not everything sold in the end aisles is healthful. That’s obvious in the Stop-n-Shop I’ve gone to.

In Metabolical the author talks about those of us who are TOFI: Thin Outside Fat Inside.

You want to be healthy: Lay off the Starbucks drinks and diet and regular colas and resist taking up smoking.

It’s as simple as that. I found a recipe for chocolate pudding that I’ll post here. As store-bought instant pudding has food coloring and other not-good ingredients.

We should each of us enjoy life and Eat to Live. There’s no shame in wanting to be happy and healthy.

There’s no shame in having an illness either. A person might not be in remission (the medical state of having no symptoms). Yet they can recover in terms of having a life they love.

Illness makes it harder to live your life. My sincere hope is this blog can be a ray of light in readers’ lives.

I would say 90 percent of what happens we can’t control in our life. In my view the things that are under our control should be taken advantage of.
