The Best Diet For You
As humans, we want an easy way out. If someone provided us two options:
- Clap your hands and get your dream body
- Work your butt off, eat well, and build the discipline to have that dream body.
We would all choose the first option.
Unfortunately, the “clap your hands and get your dream body” is not possible because nutrition is complex. There are so many different diets out there, and they typically hold conflicting research. Eating is deeply tied to emotion, satisfaction, and the relationship we have with our bodies.
You may be struggling with what is the right diet? Well, the best diet is a diet where you can sustain over a long period of time, even in the most challenging circumstances. The best diet includes:
- Your favorite food in moderation
- Achieves your body composition goals
- Can be followed during holidays and vacations
- It keeps your body at peak performance
- It keeps you mentally stable
- Can be followed during hard times, such as a death or losing a job
- Has flexibility
Finding the best diet for you is going to take time, experimenting, and discipline. During this process, you will build self-awareness, skills you never knew you had, and you will gain a new set of tools for your toolbox.
Before you start a new diet such as Keto, Paleo, or Whole 30, ask yourself this question- Is this a diet where I can sustain over a long period of time while maintaining a healthy relationship with food?
