What diet is best for me?

Your needs are unique, and depend on your constitution, age, gender, activity levels.

Shift your mindset from trying to find the “best” diet (gently release the need to be right here!), and focus on what works for you. A healthy diet (read: the foods we eat) is a lifestyle, not a set of rules you follow.

This doesnt mean we ignore science, or conventional wisdom about fresh vegetables, healthy fats, water, quality protien, etc. These concepts can guide you on where to start experimenting.

But it does mean that without a connection to your body, and understanding of what works for you, you won’t be making optimal choices. How do you feel when you choose to eat a particular food; how does your body respond? Is it delicious? Does it taste great, but you are low on energy the rest of the day? Does your belly feel tender or painful after particular foods? Are you rushing to the bathroom after mealtimes? Keep in mind a lot of the symptoms we consider to be normal are actually signs from your body that you need to take a closer look at your choices!

Once you have a baseline experience for what health FEELS LIKE in your body, the healthy choices become easier and easier to make. You don’t miss foods because you don’t miss feeling sick/tired. Your taste buds prefer water over sugary drinks. Health becomes a lifestyle!
