Heyo,
Happy Sunday.
This is getting you life back part 2.
Diets get so many people confused.
Which is too bad cuz the food you eat is one of the biggest levers you have to make your life way better.
On the one hand you've got people following the food pyramid filling up on grains and corn syrup...
On the other hand you have people running naked through the fields eating only raw milk and liver lol.
If you have to pick I'd go with option 2 haha but thankfully there is something in the middle that's a little more manageable.
Last email I talked about getting "stable" in 2025 so you can feel good and lay the foundations for amazing new things in your life.
The truth is I wrote a long email about the basics of diet but even I started to over complicate it.
Then I remembered this rule:
Basically the best diet plan is the one where you only shop the perimeter of grocery store - that means the outside walls and not the middle isles.
This basically means you buy real food.
Most of the problem foods are coming from the middle isles.
If you stick to the outside you get meat, eggs, fish, dairy, fruit and some veggies... that's the main idea - but nothing wrong with some sourdough bread or a few treats here or there.
It's not a hard and fast rule but it does really help simplify things when you go to buy food.
The idea is that the foundation of your diet and what you "fill up" on is REAL FOOD.
**You can go more intense if you want and do a full carnivore diet for 30-90 days if you really need a big change (I did this for a couple years and massively improved my mental health and relationship with food, so if you are desperate mentally or physically I would give this a try).***
But most people just need meat/eggs/dairy with some fruit, veggies and other stuff mixed in for fun.
This alone can be enough to stabilize your mood, kill off some cravings and help you lose weight.
Here's a post from a really helpful dude that sums up what this might look like on a daily basis,
