American eating habits are often referred to as the “Western diet.” The Western diet is generally classified by foods that contain high calorie levels, but little nutrition. This translates into processed food and beverages with excessive sugar, saturated fats, and sodium, 40% of which is not prepared at home. With the Western diet, it can be said you are both stuffed and starved – stuffed full of calories, but starved for the wholesome nutrition a body needs to thrive.
