SANE Foods

So I've renewed my library book "The Smarter Science of Slim" as many times as I can, and it's finally really coming due in a few days, so I'm really trying to stay focused and finish it rather that get so excited that I go google and preach.  I read a lot of it yesterday and took notes.  I think most of what the book shares is on his blog.  For example, the links below about SANE foods.  SANE stands for:

S - Satiety (part 1 & 2) - How quickly calories fill us up and how long they keep us full.
A - Aggression - How likely calories are to be stored as body fat.
N - Nutrition (part 1 & 2) - How many nutrients (proein, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, etc) calories provide.
E - Efficiency - How many calories can be stored as body fat.

from page 71 of "The Smarter Science of Slim"

"The more Satisfying, unAggressive, Nutritious, and inEfficient a calorie is, the higher it's quality.  The more SANE it is.  The more body-fat-burning hormones it triggers.  The more it clears our clog and prevents overeating.  The more it restores our ability to burn body fat and maximizes our need to burn body fat.

The more unSatisfying, Aggressive, not Nutritious, and Efficient a calorie is, the lower it's quality.  The more inSANE it is.  The more body-fat-storing hormones it triggers.  the more it creates a clog and encourages overeating.  The more it destroys our ability to burn body fat and removes our need to burn body fat.

The more we understand the four calorie-quality factores, the more clearly we will see how eating more high quality SANE food is the only practical way to burn body fat long term.  When you stay full of SANE food, you will not have any room for clog-causing inSANE calories.  When we are totally full from a super-sized SANE supper, skipping the sundae after isnt' a burden.  It's a blessng in disguise.  By stayign full of SANE calories, we clear our clog, drop our set-point, and enable our fat metabolism system to burn bodyfat for us automatically.

All that is nicely summed up in the video posted below this post.  Also, found this on his blog, a pdf file to a 7 day Start Guide.
