I wanted to share with you my view on dietary theories. They are exactly what it sounds like, theories. Dietary theories start with one person experimenting with their own body to achieve a certain outcome that they desire. When that desire is achieved, they want to shout out to the world what has made them feel amazing. And yea I guess that’s one way of doing it.
The problem with these diets is, we are eating in a way that worked for that one person. We are all about prescribing ourselves on the next fad diet, but not really listening to our own bodies and what it needs. A lot of us criticize ourselves for not sticking with it or not seeing results. There is NOTHING wrong with you!! When we can listen to our cravings and decipher what they mean, we can make the choices for ourselves without someone telling us how to eat. Yes, structure is great, but dieting and always being on a plan is not sustainable.
Will you always be able to do keto? Is this something you want to carry on for the rest of your life? How much longer are you going to reach for the next shiny thing with the false hope of getting everything we want from buying their product? This is not living in alignment with your body, mind, and soul.
As I’m learning for myself, I need different foods all the time. I’ve tried eating more meat, less meat, no meat, specific fish, no carbs, no fruit, less sugar, and they were all a learning experience that I will never regret. The best moments though, are when you crave something, fill that craving with the healthy nutrients your body needs, and feel amazing. These are the moments I’ve learned the most about my body.
So, next time you scroll on Instagram or Facebook and start comparing yourself with someone else’s esthetics, just remember that you are a unique and beautiful person who needs the complete opposite of what they may need. We are all different and what works for one, may not jive with our insides. So take some time for experimentation, take notes (like science class), learn, and respect your body for how hard it works to digest all the crap you put in your mouth everyday.
