In reading all of the nutritional books that I have picked up over the past six months I have been picking up one recurring theme. If you want to lose weight and feel great, if you want to help prevent preventable diseases, then you need to be on a primarily fruit, vegetable, nuts and seeds and legumes diet. Some are advising that it is better to eat these things raw as opposed to cooked.
So, that being said, I am embarking on a new journey. It is my plan to eliminate most animal protein from my diet. Maybe eventually I will eliminate it all, but you need to take small steps. I am going to include more fish, but depending on who you are reading, even fish is questionable. As I stated, maybe eventually I can go to an all vegetarian type diet. I guess my biggest thing right now is that I still have my 23-year-old son living with me and I still cook for him. I know that he wouldn't be that thrilled about an all vegetarian diet. But, as I have said to him often, he is old enough to care for himself.
But one thing that I need to emphasize is that we are all biologically unique individuals. What works for one person will not necessarily work for the other. You need to find what works for you. If you sign up for my coaching program, we will go over your current diet and see what small changes we can make and then go from there. And remember, question everything.
