I'm not against any "diets" and I always tell people to do what works for them. Some swear by the Paleo, south beach, Dukan, etc...etc. That's all fine and dandy, but what irks me is people who belittle me or "condemn" me for not eating a certain type of way. WHen it comes to diets I am the QUEEN BEE of them all. Why? Because I have tried them all! From low carb to vegan to south beach to atkins to diets to go....yeah...you name it, I have tried it. But experimenting and tweaking I know what works for me and what doesn't. Perfect example comes from today when having a conversation with a couple who swears by the Paleo eating methods. This one lady literally went postal on me because I was eating grains and dairy and said that I was being toxic to my body. Um, seriously????
Then they continued to "school" me on how the "primal" eating is the way to go and how that's how the cavemen ate blah blah blah. Ok, first of all.....we have all evolved! We are NOT in cavemen time anymore. So I simply and politely told them that if we were to eat like the cavemen did, then I guess we would have to train like them too. Meaning no gym memberships, no cardio machines or classes and certainly no free weights. Afterall, back then they [probably used heavy rocks as weights and ran for their lives when big beastly creatures were chasing them down, right? =) So if we were to clearly eat like them, then we should train like them too! Needless to say, that shut them up real quick!!!
I've said this in my previous blog. Don't go with "mainstream" all the time. You need to find what works for you. If what you are doing is working, then great! Keep it up. If not, then obviously there needs to be tweaking and adjustments. I am constantly working on my training and eating. As I said before, I think I finally found what is working for me. This is still in the works. We shall see. So if ANYONE ever tells you you are doomed for life for not following a certain "protocol diet" DON'T LET THEM! The choice is yours! =)
