At the start of this decade our world of 'what to eat' is in a mad swirl of different ideas or opinions. Everything from actually eating nothing, called fasting, to all vegetables or yet again all meat. And there are many stops in between. Even if you are well into studying the subject, about 4 years for me, you can still be mightily confused. Heaven help the beginner.
Once you are on the path of self help it does not mean that if you have accepted one particular way of feeding yourself that is it, you never change. The trouble is the information never comes to you in sequence. I am constantly tweaking and changing my mind. Much to my husband's annoyance, he does all the cooking, when I announce that this week I am not going to eat this but will try a bit of that. I am at present trying to eat in an anti inflammatory way plus lose a bit of weight gained in the last month.
But to look at any of the papers, web sites, Facebook or Twitter pages the controversies rage on. Are you going to die if you don't eat vegetables, or solely exist on carnivore meats? Will it be scurvy or lack of vitamin B12 that will get you? Perhaps none of them will harm you and may even make your life much better. After all you can always change your mind if one method does not suit you, for that is what they are, methods of eating or you could even go back to the standard processed food diet and be ill, even that way of eating won't kill you off right away. Meanwhile let the gurus all pontificate, choose what seems to suit you, in a years time even you may be eating in a slightly different way.
