He&#8217;s always been a sharp guy, but I really liked his plan and I thought I&#8217;d share it with you. The &#8220;Mendelsohn Method&#8221; goes like this: <strong>Choose food that spoils.<\/strong> \u00a0That means, Jon avoids processed foods in boxes, cans or bags which would be as good in nine months as they are now. Easy, right? Foods included in his &#8220;spoiler diet&#8221; are: raw fruits and veggies, lean meats, lean dairy and fresh whole grains. These choices are all naturally high in nutrition and low in fat.<\/p>\n<p>The Mendelsohn Method doesn&#8217;t suggest you should never eat a cracker or open a can of soup, it just encourages you to make the move for &#8220;spoilers&#8221; most of the time. It clearly works for Mr. Mendelsohn. Thanks for the tip, Jon &#8211; I&#8217;m so happy we had the chance to catch up!<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ESiQsnbUIPE\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just had a wonderful conversation with an old college buddy of mine, Jon Mendelsohn,\u00a0and he shared his method for staying slim and trim.
