Having the ability to choose what you will be eating and when you will be eating it, is a very powerful notion. Doing this can be extremely challenging and almost impossible because we develop such a rich relationship with our food, one that can last throughout our lives. It was a rather easy process for me because my vision was focused on health alone. It was somewhat difficult for me to transition into my latest realm though, for it was here that I had to eliminate the remaining boundaries that shackled me to the typical and accepted dietary rules of our society.
I was always being told that I had to eat a variety of different foods every day, and that shakes did not count as meals. Maybe this is why I had so many meals at one time (10/day) and maybe this is why I sought to please society by frequently altering my meals. We are shackled into the belief that variety simply means a different meat, different grain, different cereal, or even a different dessert. Many of the items available in grocery stores contain the same exact ingredients, they are just processed into different shapes, sizes, and tastes. Not only do these products lack true variety, they also lack real nutritional value. Is eating this way a good method to attain nutrients from many sources? How many people do you know that eat twenty plus fruits and vegetables, nine nuts, two types of seeds, and various roots each and every day. I know only one, and that is me. That is my variety and I have come to be perfectly fine with it. The shackles have been shattered and I am free to eat the way I have always wanted to eat. I do not feel the pressures from society that enlist me to eat food just because it is there at the table.
I am free from the distorted and manipulated rules about variety and how we must eat things that only appear different to our eyes. My body, my gut, and my health are the true distinguishers of variety, not you. Others will always tell you how to eat, heck I am telling you how to eat probably. It may not be verbally or even morse-coded, but it is there. It is there when you sit down at a nice restaurant and the menu is placed in front of you, it is there at the company luncheon, and it is there when you mother makes dinner for the family. You cannot escape the rules of food, but you can refuse to abide by them.
I provide all my stories and experiments to show you how to navigate through this mess of unchartered territory. Later on I will even offer you some more recipes, but unlike that menu placed before you only moments ago, I am not forcing you to choose something. These are foods that I have created for my own particular lifestyle and I encourage you to try my foods, but do not feel constrained by them. I have come to a point where I can truly say I know what I am eating because I have filtered through that mess and discovered a healthier way.
Do you control what you are eating?
Do you feel obligated to eat a certain way or to eat certain foods?
Dinner: A Chosen Destiny
