I'm confused - where's the eighth word?

Apart from that, I liked this article. It's not too deep, it doesn't contain Earth-shattering advice, but it has served to re-focus my efforts to get things done in a mountain of tasks, obligations and distractions.

I thougt it was "Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants" but that could just be my bad memory.
