Nutrition that makes sense

I just started reading the book called "Ultra-metabolism" by Dr. Mark Hyman and have come to realize (many times over) that there really is only one secret when it comes to nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. The simple secret is to eat a whole foods diet. This pretty much covers it all and when followed promises weight loss, increased energy, a strong immune system and better moods. The nut of the whole foods lifestyle is that you stay away from processed foods that are loaded with preservatives, sugar and hydrogenated oils. This means that pretty much everything that comes in a package is off limits. What does this leave us with? A predictable healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and lean protein. Is this really news? Do people still believe that a low calorie, low fat or low carb diet is healthy? A whole foods diet does not really eliminate any one food group, instead they include a variety of nutrient dense, smart choice foods that tell our bodies to feel good, have energy and stay slim. I believe that the whole foods approach to nutrition is the only true path toward achieving your optimum health. What do you all think?

Happy Jumping,
