You Are What You Eat.

Have you ever been around a couple in the beginning of a relationship that seemed so different from one another and a few months later, they almost morph into each other. They become so similar that it seems like they are the same person. Soon they start to kinda look alike too. They finish each other's sentences, enjoy the same movies, and are usually inseparable.

I recall that happening to me in my marriage with Junk Food. After a while, I didn't even recognize myself or what I had become. It seemed like a slow progression, but the realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I stared in the mirror and noticed all the junk I had been carrying not only in my trunk. It was everywhere.

Dr. Gillian McKeith, is a world renowned nutritionist and former junk food lover. In her book, "You Are What You Eat" (see sidebar), she explains the benefits of eating healthy foods. She helps you understand your body from the inside out. Dr. McKeith introduces many new healthy eating options and helps clarify what each food does to the human body and organs. The focus is not obsessing about calories, nor she does she promote another fad diet, rather she talks about eating right for your overall health. Her books are definitely worth checking out.
