Which diet is the best? ALL of them and NONE of them. I am going to let you in on a little secret. It often shocks and disrupts peoples world, but you need to hear it. You ready? Everyone is different. "Everyone is different," something everyone knows but yet no one really takes into account when dishing out recommendations and advice. The reason why all diets work is because they work for at least one person, usually the one telling everyone else about it. And the reason none of the diets work is because no one diet is right for everyone. So what do you eat? I have made it really simple. Eat whatever you inner knowing tells you to eat as long as it is fresh and pure. That is all you have to do. The answers that suddenly become relevant are to the questions of what is fresh and pure and how does your inner knowing tell you what to eat? Fresh means not in a box, not in a can and if you let it set out too long, it will spoil or go bad. A simple guideline is anything around the outside of a grocery store: Fruits, vegetables, bulk food, nuts and seeds, fish, meat, dairy, etc. This food is fresh. Frozen food is better than canned or in a box, but not as good as fresh. So if you have to buy something from the middle of the grocery store, frozen is a better option. Pure means nothing added. No sugar, sweeteners, artificial ingredients, preservatives, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides or any other poisons they put on or in your food. Said another way, like you would find the food in nature before man tried to improve it. This usually means organic. Follow your inner knowing eating fresh and pure food. So what is your inner knowing? Some call it your intuition, your inner intelligence and your gut knowing. It is the knowing you have before you think. It is that knowing that comes from within your soul or heart that is smarter than your mind. Your inner knowing talks to you all the time. You even hear your inner knowing it is just many of us usually dont listen. You know how when you are full and you "know" you should stop eating and often even say it out loud, but then keep eating anyway. This is exactly what I mean. When choosing what to eat your inner knowing will tell you what you "want." And as long as you are choosing from fresh and pure options eat whatever your inner knowing tells you to eat. How much food do you eat? Eat as much or as little as your inner knowing tells you to eat. Some days it might be 3,000 calories, others it might be 1,000. You no longer have to worry about counting calories or carbs. Just eat as much as your inner knowing says. No more and no less. When you listen to your inner knowing and choose from fresh and pure options, you will be eating the perfect "diet" for you. No more starvation, no more restrictions and no more counting. You will have Freedom from the shackles of diets for life. |
