I want to share some experiences and reflections about my change to a more plant-based, whole-food life. (My last blog post talks about how I got started on this ride.) Health is a relative term. This is great news, because you don’t need to change everything to be healthier. Just eat a little more of the good stuff and squeeze out a little more of the bad stuff, and you’ve done yourself a huge favor. I still eat things I know aren’t good for me. Friday fish-fries. Celebrations. Social events. But it's more the exception than the rule. Having said that, eating is a zero-sum game . There’s only so much room in your belly, only so many things you can make for breakfast, and only so many things that will fit in your fridge. When you build your eating habits, each unhealthy food crowds out the healthy foods your body is desperate for. Each food that’s been weaponized with some combination of salt/sugar/fat makes the heathier unweaponized foods pale a bit in comparison. Withdraw tho
