Welcome to Litsy!

I couldn't rate this book. It's well written, and the brain energy theory sounds plausible. I am skeptical of some of the solutions to mental illness, particularly the ketogenic diet. I can't speak to its efficacy until I've tried it. The book describes the theory in scientific terms involving mitochondria and the metabolic system. It's is fascinating, and parts are over my uneducated head. I will have to do my own research. I have a project now!

2025 is gonna be a rough one

I haven‘t read/listened to a book about our food industry in a lot of yrs so thought this would be a good one. It was a bit science-y for me, but I also liked the information about studies & explanations about our bodies. My horror about our food industry was renewed, but I‘m not sure how to reduce my UPF intake. We don‘t have many non-UPF options in my area, except the farmers market in summer. Would have liked more of that info.

Slight blood sugar issue in the family. Been watching her YouTube videos. Super interesting.

Tonight‘s comfort food: 🥔Baked Potato Soup

I may have gotten a little excited with the fake bacon bits🤷🏻‍♀️

This cookbook is great for whole foods plant-based comfort recipes. I need to explore more recipes in this one to see if I like her other meals.

“It‘s not food. It‘s an industrially produced edible substance.”
Every so often a book comes along which stays with you long after you‘ve read it. For me this is one of those books. Just looking through a food product‘s ingredients list and feeling empowered to know what specific chemicals could be doing to my body is life changing. I am going to be thinking about a lot of this book for a long time to come.

“We cannot lose weight just by increasing physical activity”.
🤯

This books is seriously challenging everything I thought I know about diet.

I‘m learning a lot reading this book, and think this paragraph really helps to distinguish UPF(NOVA) vs nutritional classification.

I am worried that a lot of the implied good vs bad will only be accessible to higher income households.
