My list of food rules

I receive a ton of messages from people on MFP. Many of them have to do with how many calories they should or shouldn't be eating. Or what foods to add and what foods to nix to their meal plans. Or it's something about supplements. Everyone is always so focused on the nitty gritty details that I often wonder how many are actually missing the forest for the trees. In response, a while back, I wrote an article titled "Gremlins, Pareto, & Food Rules, Oh My!" It had a pretty massive response from readers in terms of traffic.

In light of some of the messages I've been getting recently, I figured I'd bump the article for those who may have missed it. Hopefully it helps some people frame things in more productive ways.
