I have not lost 35 pounds, by the way. I’ve barely tackled 10 pounds in the last 2 months, which I count as a victory for the slow-and-steady crowd.
But if you’re interested in losing weight and taking care of the environment, you might be interested to hear Mark Bittman, author of the great “How to Cook Everything” and “How to Cook Everything Vegetarian” books, talk about his food conciousness on NPR.
Follow this link and you can listen to his thoughts on balancing food groups throughout the day and the radical changes it made in his life.
(Here’s a hint that will shock no one — his morning and afternoons are mostly fruits and vegetables with a more substantial meal for dinner.)
Not only does he feel better about his carbon footprint and how his food is made, but he lost 35 pounds, his cholesterol levels dropped and his sleep apnea disappeared. It’s a great interview and, if you’re looking for a good cookbook (or a nice gift for me), “How to Cook Everything Vegetarian” is an amazing resource.
