There are so many choices that we face every day with the way we eat.
Most of these are not conscious choices – especially since we all have busy lives and often have to grab whatever is convenient and fits in with what we’re doing at the time.
There are actually 15 choices we have to make every day with our eating, which I call the 15 Food Factors.
As a result of these 15 factors, everyone eats differently from everyone else and diet is such a personal, emotive, and large part of our life.
You eat differently to me, I eat differently to all of my friends, they all eat differently to each other and their families and friends eat differently to them and so on…
Here are the 15 Food Factors:
-
What we eat (and drink)
-
When we eat
-
How many times per day we eat
-
How much we eat at each meal and in total
-
Whether to follow a healthy diet or not
-
Which ‘healthy’ diet to choose
-
Cooked or raw
-
Meat eater, vegetarian or vegan
-
Include supplements or not
-
Organic or non-organic
-
Home-prepared or shop/restaurant bought
-
Packaged or whole foods
-
Who or what we allow to influence us (family, TV, diet books, emotions, level of hunger)
-
What is available, accessible and affordable
-
Planned and prepared in advance or eating ‘on the fly’
Most of these are not conscious choices – especially since we all have busy lives and often have to grab whatever is convenient and fits in with what we’re doing at the time.
We also eat for pleasure and as a social experience, as well as for fuel.
On top of this, there are so many foods to choose from and so many diets we can follow.
Every plausible diet seems to contradict the next – Paleo Diet, Cambridge Diet, 5:2 Fasting Diet, Raw Vegan Diet, Dukan Diet, Blood Group Diet, Wind Change Diet…
(Ok, I made up the last one)
The list is endless.
And then of course there’s the Alkaline Diet. But even within the Alkaline Diet there is discrepancies – one alkaline food list differs from the next.
With all this choice, is it any wonder we are confused and not sure what to eat for the best?!
No, it is to be expected.
And the irony is that even with so much choice, it is STILL hard to find healthy foods in the food shops and restaurants – adding to the confusion.
Remember:
“A confused mind takes no action”
With diet and health this translates to:
“A confused mind eats what it thinks is healthy but not really sure about and since it’s not sure, it takes the ‘everything in moderation’ approach or ‘a little of what you fancy does you good’ approach or the ‘f*** it, you only live once, I may as well enjoy my food’ approach.”[/content_box_yellow]
I was not prepared to settle for so much choice and confusion in my life, I knew there had to be a Simple, Satisfying, Sustainable, Super-Healthy and SYSTEMATISED way of eating –the ‘5-S diet approach’ as I like to call it.
…I have been on a 15-year quest of research and experimentation to discover it.
And by jove, I’ve found it! 🙂
I was confused for years but now, thankfully, I am 100% certain on what to eat every day.
Food freedom at last! It’s a beautiful feeling!
The alkaline diet plan that I have developed is not only healthy but is totally do-able over the long term and takes the guesswork and infinite choice out of things – so you can get on with living your life and not have to worry about diet what to eat for the best.
I love this alkaline diet and have never felt so healthy, energised, satisfied with my eating.
On top of that, it’s easy to prepare meals, inexpensive AND I have lost 14lbs of pure fat over the past year on it – all whilst eating more than ever!
BONUS!
Even better, many other people have experienced similar results.
The real beauty of the Alkaline 5 Diet is that it safely covers you in your day-to-day, meal-to-meal, moment-to-moment food choices.
You can be SURE that you’re making a wise choice on 14 out of the 15 Food Factors with this way of eating, giving true food freedom.
The only Factor left for you to decide upon is whether you want to choose organic foods or not (I’d suggest you do, but it’s not essential).
Don’t get me wrong, you still have LOTS of options for what to eat and when and how much, but it is within the safe parameters of this healthy diet. A true WIN-WIN!
