Why do I mention this? Well, yesterday I made a connection through Molalla Running Club (and the Run Molalla Series) -- a connection with a group in the Molalla area called Food For Life, which focuses on community education of whole food diets, locally sourcing real food, and living a healthier life through your food choices. I have not yet attended any of the meetings, but I'm excited to make the connection.
Here's a link to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/foodforlifegroup/
One of the main points of "The Glutton Free Diet" is watching portion control and calorie intake, and you can't do that in a healthy way if you don't eliminate the empty calories that come from things like soda pop and prepackaged snack foods. You have to make sure that the food on your plate is full of the nutrients your body needs to get you through the day -- preferably with as little help from supplemental medications as possible.
I look forward to learning more about Food For Life in the coming months. It's great having a resource like this in our area that is committed making a positive contribution to the community around them.
