No doubt about it – I love food. From cereal to white truffles, from tortilla chips to Palak Paneer, I love food. It’s not that I’ve never met a food I didn’t like, but I’ve rarely met a food done right that I didn’t like.
Because I love food so much, I find it disheartening that the relationship most people have with food is very unhealthy. While some frequently eat greasy, drippy foods until they can’t move, others deprive themselves of every drop of oil and every gram of sugar. Some diets permit unlimited consumption of pork rinds and cheese but prohibit most things with fiber due to the associated sugar content. Others limit consumption to unsafely narrow combinations of foods, like cottage cheese and grapefruit juice (and nothing else).
Many people believe that wholesale gluttony or untempered deprivation are the only two alternatives, when it comes to eating. I’m here to tell ya’ that it’s possible to eat all day, have a love affair with food, and still be healthy, within your ideal body-weight range, and happy. I’ve compiled a list of simple tips and tricks that, if cultivated into your day-to-day attitude toward food, can help you get there. Just look for posts tagged “Guilt Free.”
’til next time,
Bearable
