Are you confused by nutrition? What to eat, when to eat it, what’s good, what’s bad? Vegetarian, Clean Eating, Paleo, Intermittent Fasting, say what?! If so, then you aren’t alone by any means. The nutrition industry (and fitness industry, for that matter) is pretty complicated–and it doesn’t need to be.
I get it. Science. And also, capitalism, lobbyists, and food politics. We’ve succeeding in turning something as simple and satisfying as food into one of the most confusing topics of our time.But, as a big believer in living simply, I contend that nutrition does NOT have to be complicated and strict. In the spirit of simplicity, I’m sharing with you my my effortless eating intentions that I teach to clients: 
1) Eat foods that make you feel good before, during, and after, both physically and mentally (includes indulgences).
If food is supposed to be our sustenance, why is it making us so sick? And if something makes you feel like absolute garbage (either physically or emotionally) then why even bother eating it? Here’s the thing: whether the food you eat is nourishing or indulgent, it should taste amazing and it shouldn’t leave you reeling.Healthy food that nourishes your body can (and should) be palatable, and food that doesn’t nourish your body can still be neutral–meaning that it won’t send you into a gut inflamed, joint aching frenzy. Remember, the motto is eat, lift, and be happy. That last part is the most important, but it’s also greatly influenced by the first two.
