What is the Healthiest Diet?

Which diet is the 'best' and which diet is the healthiest out there?  Many say the South Beach Diet has all the components for weight loss and healthy eating; however, on a recent visit with my internal medicine physician, he raised some very interesting points and gave me the best dietary tips I have ever heard. 

It is about changing your eating patterns for a lifetime, not simply losing weight for a short-lived period of time or cutting out things entirely from your diet.  It is about moderation and being able to understand the concepts of fueling your body yet not overdoing that or underdoing that - great advice and so simple!

Butternut Squash Pizza

If you are into vegetable pizzas, this one is for you!  This is a delicious revamp of a recipe I recently tried on a personal pizza crust envelope.  The results were fantastic.  I as usual added all but the kitchen sink as I always like to add spinach and feta cheese to anything made with butternut squash but my daughter was pointing out that goat cheese would be good in the recipe too.  The addition of fresh basil leaves also made it absolutely marvelously delicious!

For a different kind of pizza, try this squash pizza recipe - I think you'll like it!
