Although Hardin is wary of taking a stance on specific diets, he does recommend food that doesn’t cause blood-sugar spikes and an overall diet characterized by moderation. “Fundamentally, your grandmother was right," he says. "Eat your vegetables, don’t eat too much junk, go outside and play." And don’t worry: you can still eat pizza – as long as you don’t eat it all the time.
