My thoughts on Nutrition

Before you get too far down this “rabbit hole” it’s important to remember that food is and was always intended to be fuel. For generations our ancestors ate only foods that were available to them via hunting and gathering. They did not have the luxury of pulling into a McDonalds and grabbing “convenience food”. They ate for the soul purpose of fuel and survival. They also did not eat around the clock as we do today. They would have long periods of time without eating anything!

This is how I have come to look at food. As nourishment, and fuel. I have gone to great lengths to change the way I look at some of the habits I have had in my life, and food has been a big one. I still don’t have the “perfect diet”, and still eat foods I “shouldn’t”, but it has become a rarity and not the norm. Just because you shouldn’t have it, doesn’t mean you can’t (unless you are trying to heal some type of illness/disease), it just means don’t do it often.

I do not believe in telling people how to eat. Because each person has a different relationship with food and each person has unique behaviors when it comes to food. But that is what it ultimately is…a behavior and having someone tell you how to eat does not help you change your behaviors. Each person also has different goals and requirements for food. For example, if you are trying to lose weight you will need less calories than someone that is trying to gain weight. For this reason a lot of nutritional conversations should be had on a 1-1 basis.

My goal with the nutrition portion is to give you a glimpse as to how and when I eat. This is not necessarily intended to be a guideline for you to use, you are however free to do exactly that. If you have any further questions about how/when/what I eat please feel free to contact me to discuss further.
