Some thoughts on “diet” and your body awareness
Diet is a strange thing prone to fads in some countries – i see images of food from traveling friends and more often than not am amazed at the quality of food they show…vibrant, veggies fruits nuts spices…. …let us assume we are not eating for addictive and comfort reasons….(ya i know) – butter made from grassfed animals is a healthy source of fats (myself, i got some because i personally know the cow…her name is Bessie – so I am strictly speaking, not vegan this month), I noticed my body wanted to soak it up. I also am not buying into the whole grain bread is bad thing (celiacs the exception) – or fruit sugar when consumed with the whole fruit or eggs from free range hens, especially being allowed to have their natural and not overbred egg laying rhythm.
Tt is a matter of being honest with yourself and your body and knowing when it does well/better, what nourishes it to the point of high energy and well being. knowing when eating is out of habit or comfort or taste pleasure or staying fixated on some idea or philosophy. admitting that many days the body actually does not want or need to have more food and skipping meals is really the thing to do.
