An excellent "plan" for eating that is not a "diet."

I read this book because of an article that I saw in Women First Magazine, and also because I had been hearing a lot about "phytonutrients." I had experienced my worst winter yet in terms of feeling sluggish with no energy, and wanted to take charge of my health after my doctor told me that I was "just getting older." I also have a family history of heart disease and cancer. I am 44 years old and not ready to give up yet! So, I posted the "phytofood pyramid" on my refrigerator and began to follow it - 6 servings of vegetables, 1 serving of soy, 1-2 servings of fruit, 1-2 servings of whole wheat and beans. Within a week, I have gained much more energy and have dropped weight - (a friend told me to take chromiun picolinate 3 times a day before meals - it regulates your blood sugar and burns fat). I feel so good that I am going to continue on this for the rest of my life. Incidentally, I still walk by candy bars and ice cream and want them badly, but after reading about what the high fat, high sugar & high salt does to my body to give me heart disease, cancer and diabetes, I stay away from them and substitute them with real fruit, sorbet, and nonfat frozen yogurt. And a wonderful way to drink soy milk is to use it in your chai - it makes a great nightcap!
