Eat Food, Not Numbers

April 24, 2015 By Patricia Chuey

Choose food for what it provides, not what it lacks. Opt to try a new recipe because it looks delicious and wholesome, not because of the numbers in the nutritional data at the bottom of the page. I’ve never been interested in food math and don’t feel such numbers are contributing to improved health. Over reliance on numbers detracts from looking at the ingredients and honestly assessing wholesomeness. Eating well is a much broader, total picture concept than simply making food decisions based on numbers. I create recipes for a living. I provide nutritional data upon my clients request, but support a movement towards not doing any ‘eating math’. #ChueyOnThis #NoDietMath

Eat Foods That Rot

February 19, 2015 By Patricia Chuey

Your body is like a human compost bin. At least 80% of the time, eat foods that if left on the counter for a month would actually start rotting. Foods that last forever have fewer nutrients. Food technology and marketing have evolved way further and faster than the human body. Just because someone invented it and labels it as good does not mean we were ever intended to eat it. #EatFoodsThatRot #ChueyOnThis

The Healthiest Foods Out There Have No Food Labels At All

February 12, 2015 By Patricia Chuey

Stop comparing product A to product B in the grocery aisle based on the label. Fill your cart with label-free nutrient dense foods like vegetables, fruit, bulk whole grains, quality protein, eggs, nuts and seeds. Save the foods with confusing labels for 20% of the time or less and it won’t matter much if it was product A or B. Focus on what the food actually contains, not what it lacks. In many cases, a claim of “sugar-free” or “no trans fat” is as helpful as “dirt-free” or “contains no hair”. Ask what you are about to ingest, not what you won’t be getting from the food. #PositiveVersusNegativeNutrition #ChueyOnThis
