Paleo, Whole 30, Vegetarian, Vegan, Raw Food, South Beach, Zone, the list goes on and on.\u00a0 There are so many different diet types out there.\u00a0 Almost all of them have merit and have good in them, but I hate labels!\u00a0 Whenever someone says I am… all people really hear is what you don’t eat or won’t do.\u00a0 Labels divide people into camps or groups.\u00a0 Although in truth we are all after the same thing to be the healthiest version of ourselves we can be.<\/p>\n

Everyone’s body is different, to say that all of us must eat this way or that way would never work.\u00a0 You will notice in reading my\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 blog posts, I try my best to research different topics and present what my family has chosen to do with these facts.\u00a0 I will never however tell you what you need to do, that is something each one of us must decide on our own and test out on ourselves.\u00a0 What my body can tolerate, your body may not and vice versa.\u00a0 The important thing is to not put our head in the sand, but to continue growing in our knowledge of how what we put into our bodies effects our health.<\/p>\n

Let’s just be Healthy<\/h4>\n

While not every food out there is healthy for us, the truth is we need to make progress towards our health and nutrition goals.\u00a0 Progress , not perfection.\u00a0 Cutting out some of the worst foods, or food like substances for many people is an awesome starting point.\u00a0 Reviewing with an honest eye what you are eating day in and day out gives you a good place to start.<\/p>\n

Do you eat fast often?\u00a0 Let’s look at where we can cook something similar at home, using better ingredients.\u00a0 Do you eat boxes and prepared meals often at home?\u00a0 Lets look at how we can make something similar using better ingredients.\u00a0 Why not start with one meal a day and after a few weeks move on to another.\u00a0 The most important thing is that you are making lasting improvements to your nutrition that will last a life time.<\/p>\n

Diet has two very distinct meanings, the first is the most commonly used one “A special course of food to which one restricts oneself, to lose weight.”\u00a0 The second definition is where we want to live “The kinds of food that a person, animal or community habitually<\/em><\/strong> eats.”\u00a0 Habitual is the key here we are trying to change our lives for the better, to be the healthiest version of ourselves we can be.<\/p>\n

So let’s stop labeling ourselves, or if you feel you really like to label your eating style, why not go for Healthy or Real food.\u00a0 Better yet let’s just try to be our healthiest version of ourselves, no one else’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
