Yesterday was Thanksgiving day in the US, so I was off work and had lots of time to read. Some of the things I've been reading about food and nutrition lately talk about:
the value of fermented food and drinks (pickles, sauerkraut, kefir)
how the human gut is the second brain
the importance of fiber in our diet
the merits of intermittent fasting versus eating multiple smaller meals each day
low carb diets, high in fats (like Paleo), with or without grains and gluten
I remember when I lost a lot of weight once before, when I was living in England back in 2006, I drank a little bottle of Yakult probiotic dairy (sugary) drink each day. I wouldn't do that now, but I would be okay with other fermented foods and drinks.
