My 3 Day Experiment with NOVA Food Classification

Ive always enjoyed a good dietary tracking assignment! To me its like a challenge: how well can I eat this week? For this "experiment" however, I didnt actually make any real changes to my habits. Furthermore, the NOVA classification is one of the best Ive come across for rating or classifying ingredients. Its simple, no-nonsense and clearly evaluates how "whole" a food truly is.



I was pleased to see that my efforts of the last year or so to really "clean" up my diet seems to be working. I still struggle with "convenience" foods like the frozen potstickers when I come home from work late or a sweetened caffeine drink when I want a mid-day pick me up. For the most part, however, my primarily NOVA category 1 diet only takes me a marginal amount of extra time every day. Other than the convenience foods, my biggest pitfall continues to be alcohol- high in calories and hard on the body, but ultimately still irreplaceable.

    Congrats to cleaning up you diet and managing to stick with the lifestyle change! I also find that I from group 1 and 2 when I cook, but am brought to the more processed foods when I don't have the time or energy... but sometimes I also just like to snack, especially when I have things I need to do (study). Alcohol is definitely irreplaceable for me as well, but I have managed to have a "Dry July" and have carried it over until today. Have you heard of being tea drunk?
