Searching for a sane way to relate to food I turned to a trusted name in health care, the Mayo Clinic. I got their Wellness Solutions For Weight Loss DVD from Netflix (rated 5 stars) and I do recommend it. It had a friendly Dr. take you shopping in a grocery store, they recommend yoga and meditation, exercise and a food pyramid solidly based on fruits and vegetables, it had interviews with people who are losing weight. It even contains a section of yoga instruction with well known yoga teacher Rodney Yee. There is also a wealth of sound information on weight loss on the Mayo Clinic Website.
Today I looked into my basket at the grocery store and tried to size it up in terms of the Mayo Food Pyramid. A big tub of spinach and a bunch of bananas, an onion. I am getting a little better at moving more veggies and fruits into the pyramid chart of my food consumption but it is still not quite the solid base the Mayo Clinic recommends.
