Diet...the 4 letter word we all love to hate

DIET

Just the word alone seems to be trailed by an ominous black cloud.  A negative, pessamistic, limiting vibe that no one wants to associate with.  A word that most people use as an excuse of why they can't do things.  Why they can't enjoy themselves, why they can't participate in celebrations. 

DIET

Webster's dictionary defines diet first & foremost as:
a : regularly provided or consumed, habitual nourishment

Why then, do we as a people only think of diet as punnishment or restriction?  A diet is a necessary ingredient to survive.  What we choose to allow in our mouths as part of our diet is what people have misconstrued as the definition.  Limiting the culinary pleasures is a choice made to better one's diet, not to limit the pleasures of eating.  All diets should be realistic, whether to better one's health or physique.  Though they should limit the splurging of delicacies such as desserts, chocolate, carbs salts and sugar, they should always allow for them to be introduced within reason.  Once you put yourself on a "diet" that limits your food intake to strict caloric intake, you are almost certain to fail in your attempts.

Diets don't have to be scary, but they should be sensible.  Research what a healthy diet should consist of. Go back to the basics, refamiliarize yourself with the food pyramid. Reacess your DIET to include each and every part of the pyramid and be sure to allow yourself a delicacy once in a while. 

Until Tomorrow!
Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!

Have an awesome day!
