Omg, This is health food! We've been eating health food!

One of the reasons for all this is to answer the question, "hey, how did you lose that weight?" I'm a biochemist and hopelessly obsessed foodie. For years I've investigated what constitutes a healthy diet. Different people will have different eating styles, and there's no one approach that works. For instance, Atkins is extremely effective for most, but very difficult long-term. Health isn't short-term.
This is how I lose weight and feel better. I get really good food: fresh, flavorful, seasonal produce, 100% pastured meats and poultry, fresh sustainable seafood, and cook with what's on hand. I want to try everything, so I never make the same thing twice. I look at what comes out of many restaurant kitchens, and it's fat-based, heavy food. When I need to lighten up body and mood, I crave water-based, refreshing, foods. There's still fat - it's needed for mood, nerve health, vitamin transport, and more - but the fats in the grass-pastured-and-finished meats are full of the good fatty acids. Healthy fats are really flavorful, both supplying their own flavors and transporting volatile flavor compounds.
Usually I don't tell people this is healthy food. My overriding goal is really good food.
