NOTE: I went out to lunch with a chiropractor friend of mine today since he works downtown. We both got the same meal and I was intrigued to watch this 30-something year old man who has never had a weight or health problem in his life consume his meal. He got his burger with the bun and proceeded to take one bite of it before tossing the bread aside. He also had one bite of the famous cornbread of the restaurant we went to and then he was done with that. His side was sweet potato fries which looked really good...again, he had maybe 3-4 of the fries and was finished with them. The main source of nutrition he got came from the fat and protein in the burger and it's a good lesson for all of us who seek to eat healthy. People know that they need to cut down on your carbohydrate intake and the savvy ones like my chiropractor friend are doing that naturally without being told whether it's good for them or not. I asked my friend if he'd like to come on my podcast sometime to talk about his philosophy on nutrition and good health. When my schedule opens back up in 2011, we'll make that happen!
