Seems like a strange remark in a diet-obsessed culture where rates of obesity continue to skyrocket, yet the single biggest eating problem I’ve seen from counseling hundreds of individuals over the past 3 decades is simply not eating enough. Not enough healthy food and fluid is consumed in the day and in a balanced, consistent way to prevent or reduce desire for unhealthy choices and at unhealthy times. Energy also suffers. It’s not about continually tweaking the food that you do eat to make it cleaner, more raw, more GF, more vegan, more expensive…It’s about getting enough total quality fuel to drive on and live life free of guilt, worry, diet math and food obsession. Indeed avoid allergens and individually problematic foods, but always nourish yourself fully. Nourishment isn’t simply calories and micronutrients. It includes vitality, flavour, satiety, comfort, sharing, enjoyment, memories and happiness too! #ChueyOnThis
