Should I Eat That? How to Choose the Healthiest Foods



Over the past few years I have lost about 55 pounds. My self esteem and confidence has really exploded as a result of the weight loss.

One of the biggest factors was simply changing the way I approached my relationship to food. On the path to wellness, I was lucky enough to discover the wisdom of a nutritional expert, Jeff Novick.

In the nutrition world, Jeff is rock star. In his professional career, he has literally helped thousands of people become much healthier and happier. I know Jeff Novick, the nutrition expert and I am also fortunate to know Jeff, the human being.

One of the things that drives me crazy about Jeff is that he is willing to listen to anyone without any reservations or prejudgments.

Think about that for a moment - It is completely crazy to consider that listening could really piss people off, but Jeff is willing to HEAR the quality of the contributions and willing to separate any potential personal feelings he might have. I have seen him do this time and time again on a personal level and on a professional level. Sometimes I have even wondered, possibly aloud, how he could give such a person the time of day.

But as much as it has pissed me off from time to time to watch Jeff create the spaciousness of the willingness to listen to others, it also displays a touch of his cool and mad genius that is so infectiously delicious, that it does kind of rub off on you. On more than one occasion, I have seen things differently because I heard them thru Jeff's non-judgmental 'listening voice.'

It probably is wildly unpopular in this day and age to be associated with things that could tarnish your professional reputation. Fortunately for those who are listening, Jeff never confuses the hype with the message.

If one is listening for the secret, they will surely hear the sound... in the actual message of the speaker.

Jeff has a new message contained in a brand new DVD that is a grand slam. The DVD is entitled 'Should I Eat That? How to Choose the Healthiest Foods'and is available thru this link:

"How do you decide if your food is healthy or not? Do you prefer organic, low fat, low carb, low sugar, high protein, soy, vegan or vegetarian? All of these? None of these? Or are you just attracted to a picture on the box?

Making healthy choices has gotten very confusing as stores are filled to the brim with foods no one should be eating - even the food brands which claim to be "healthy."

In his informative and fun style, Jeff reveals the truth behind the marketing of "health" foods, and shows a simple system for insuring you make wise choices.

Americans have lost the ability to know what to eat. Jeff Novick explains in a clear and concise manner what they should be eating and why."(John McDougall, MD, Founder of the McDougall Residential Program)

  2. I totally agree with your blog! Jeff Novick is the best healthy lifestyle educator I've ever come across. As a health educator myself, I learn from Jeff how to do my craft better! He truly is extraordinary. and his compassion for people knows no bounds. I was privileged to experience this first-hand very recently. And, I was privileged to hear Jeff present twice in the past 8 months. How fantastic is that? ** Bev Edwards-Miller, RD **

  3. Bev - I completely agree. I have seen hundreds of speakers in education over the years and Jeff's presentations always rise to the top.

    But ... I think for those of us who know him, he is really just a great human being with an enormous capacity for compassion.

    Its easy to say that I have learned so much about nutrition from him as a professional, but I have learned much more from him outside of his professional presentations.

    I am truly grateful for his friendship and I know that the people that have had their lives touched by him feel the same way.

    Thanks for reading!

  4. The cover of the DVD "Should I Eat That? How To Choose The Healthiest Foods" has a photo of a lady looking at a can. Without knowing anything else, I think that the answer is a clear 'No'
