Who calls the shots with your food?

Beat your taste buds, fuel your body properly

Your tongue is very adept at tricking your brain into telling you what it thinks you should be eating, and certain food products are designed to take advantage of this internal circuitry.

Your tongue can provide its opinion on your food intake – I certainly don’t voluntarily eat poor-tasting food – but it shouldn’t make the final call.

Craving something specific to eat right now? That’s fine, just investigate the source of this impulse first before indulging.

Why do you eat?

Why do you eat? “Because I’m hungry” is an insufficient response. Think deeper and truly grasp the meaning of hunger.

Why do you eat what you eat? My answer to this question was always: “That’s what I grew up eating.” This response sounds eerily similar to the dangerous phrase: “We’ve always done it this way.”

Ask questions.

Challenge the status quo.

Maybe there’s a better way.
