ALISON'S EAT-FREE: HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS
The Food Systems Synergy Study* Food Rules

The following guidelines are based upon what I have found works well for me. They are NOT rules; the term FOOD RULES is an indication of how much I love to eat and how I enjoy cooking delicious food while living healthfully all at the same time.

1. Eat Motivated by The Food Systems Synergy Study* Principles:
A. Make It HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS:
• Eat what your mother makes (your heritage)
• Eat what our mother makes (locally grown, seasonal, organic and/or the best quality available)
B. Follow as many of these as possible:
• Eat in moderation
• Eat breakfast like a king/queen; lunch like a prince(ss) and dinner like a pauper!
• Eat home cooked meals as much as possible
• Enjoy eating and relax while eating
• Be flexible about how and where you eat
• Share food and mealtimes
• Limit refined foods to occasional
• When healing is required, eat health supportive and avoid refined foods
• Avoid programs designed only for weight loss
• Avoid synthetic sweeteners and foods containing them
• Avoid extremes
C. Choose from a variety of systems:
• Indigenous, ethnic, and traditional
• Systems that you like (there are so many available)
• Classic Health Food Systems used by Alison*s EAT-FREE (Five Element, Ayurvedic, Macrobiotic, etc.)
D. Eat in perspective by balancing . . . Eating to Live with Living to Eat!
