What Should you EAT
Let me cut to the chase. You’ve been bombarded with a million different opinions about what you should eat. One day it’s “eat every few hours,” the next day it’s “intermittent fasting is the key to life.” You’ve got vegans, vegetarians, keto enthusiasts, paleo fanatics, and a whole circus of other diet gurus shouting in your ear. And you’re there, stuck in the middle, wondering, “What the hell am I actually supposed to eat?”
Here’s the harsh truth: there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Your body isn’t the same as mine, or your neighbor’s, or that influencer on Instagram who swears by their green juice diet. It’s unique, and it reacts differently to different foods. So why the hell would you try to follow someone else’s diet plan like it’s the gospel?
Look, your body is constantly telling you what it needs. It’s smart enough to let you know when something isn’t working. You eat something, and you feel like crap afterward? Guess what? That’s your body screaming at you to cut that food out. On the flip side, when you eat something and feel great, energized, and ready to take on the world, that’s your body giving you a high five. But you’re too busy listening to every so-called expert out there to even notice.
Stop letting other people tell you what to eat. You need to start listening to the only expert that actually matters – your body. If you work nights and need a heavy meal at midnight, go for it. If you’re more of a morning person and need a big breakfast to kickstart your day, then that’s what you should do. Forget what the latest fad diet says. Your body, your rules.
And don’t get me started on those people who’ll try to convince you that their way is the only way. There’s always going to be someone out there who’s going to try and sell you the latest diet craze, promising you that it’s the ultimate solution to all your problems. But let’s be real – most of these people are just trying to make a buck. They don’t know you, they don’t know your body, and they sure as hell don’t care about what works for you. They’re selling you a dream that’s tailored to their pockets, not your health.
Here’s the kicker: they might not even be wrong. Their diet might be perfect for them. It might even work for a lot of other people. But does that mean it’s right for you? Absolutely not. Just because someone else thrives on a certain way of eating doesn’t mean you will. And that’s okay. You don’t have to follow the herd. In fact, you shouldn’t.
Instead, you need to take charge and figure out what works for you. That means experimenting, paying attention to how different foods make you feel, and being brutally honest with yourself about what’s working and what’s not. It’s not about finding the “perfect” diet – because, spoiler alert, there isn’t one. It’s about finding what makes you feel good, what fuels your body, and what keeps you healthy and happy.
So, stop stressing about what the latest diet book says, or what that celebrity chef is endorsing. It’s time to tune out all that noise and tune into what your body is telling you. Eat what makes you feel good. Eat what gives you energy. Eat what makes you happy. And don’t let anyone tell you that you’re doing it wrong.
In the end, it’s not about following someone else’s rules. It’s about making your own. And that’s the real secret to eating well – doing what’s right for you, not what someone else thinks is right. So, listen to your body, trust yourself, and stop letting others dictate what’s best for you. You’ve got this. Now go out there and eat like you mean it.
