If your diet is defined by the foods that you cant have, its probably bullshit. In these crazy paleo times of ours, dieting seems to have turned into a self flagellation-fest, each of us vying for the most insanely restrictive diet possible.
“You’re cutting back on carbs? Ha that’s pretty cute.. Oh my diet? Nothing serious, I just only eat a rare type of organic, upgraded quinoa grown in a small Tibetan monastery, and pre-masticated by a virgin, betwixt the waning moon and e…arly morning sun of the winter solstice. Its super hard but you know me #cleaneating. Oh the helmet? I have unexplainable dizzy spells and fall down a lot. Doctors are stumped.”
Obviously making correct nutritional choices is a priority. However good health is about more then cutting calories. Its about constructing a diet that enables you to get enough of the required nutrients to live and perform at your very best without creating unhealthy relationships with food.
If eating healthy is truly a priority, then go speak to a nutritionist. You might be very interested in what they say about your “healthy diet”
(Also as a note the food pyramid is really outdated. I have designed a much easier to use food dodecahedron. All of the sides are meat, except for three, which are gummy bears, pre-workout and activated gypsy tears. Its currently available in my new online program “The 12 steps to Erotic Jazz Funk Fuse your way to your Summer Body” available for 12 easy payments of $25. As seen on Dr Oz.)
Jokes aside. If you feel like you have developed an unhealthy obsession with food, speak to someone about it. A doctor, a nutritionist or even a family member. That goes for over eating, under eating, anything.
Eating should be a happy, rewarding experience.
Let me know what you think.
