Is there one right food that will help you loose weight of be healthier? Well, yes and no. This is also where my opinion differs from a lot of what you may hear from dieticians. The human body is very good at manufacturing what it needs. Yes there are critical vitamins an minerals which we can do without. If, however, you look around the world at ancient aboriginal peoples, depending on the region of the world, climate, food sources, and season you will find a wide disparity in the types of foods available to these peoples. Yet they survived for many hundreds if not thousands of years, on in many cases a very limited range of food stuff, by our own standards!
