Here is a quote I came across recently, that sums up what I was trying to say in my Blog post “Don’t Be a Food Nag”.
“One of the main reasons people get turned off to diets is that the plans are so often cloaked in righteousness. There’s a ‘my way or the highway’ tone to them that leaves people jittery and afraid to diverge even the tiniest bit for fear of falling off their imaginery wagon…the right dietary program is one that you grow into, not one that you jump into all in one day. It should feel comfortable and right, not like a straitjacket…there will always be individual variations according to your height, weight, age, physical condition, and the availability of food… In order for you to truly eat the way nature intended, it has to feel natural…life is too short to worry about the pinch of cinnamon that’s the eighth ingredient in your favourite recipe.”
