johnelka's own diet

This diet is about figuring out what works best for YOU! The goal is optimal health and we achieve this by gaining an understanding of how our bodies work and react to different stimuli (diet and exercize in this case)through trial and error. I also encourage maximizing resources like this awesome website that are available to aid us in our success. Support and encouragement are free here, use what you have to get where you want to be!

This diet discourages deprivation and encourages experimentation and exploration. It requires conscious living and contant revision. This is not about what you CAN'T have. Do not deprive yourself of the things that give you joy, just find ways to make them healthier. Try everything and if you find something is not working for you, modify the behavior and try something different! This way of thinking helps us not to have so many "bad days". It allows us to live, try new things, progress and get better with time and experience.
