I want to publicly address a question I get asked a lot: Do I still eat G-BOMBS? (Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries, and Seeds)

Yes, most of the time. My body responds beautifully to the nutrients.

However, I no longer adhere to the obsessive precision mindset of them; nor do I believe in, or strive to reach the ideal weight fear-mongering rhetoric in order to achieve so-called optimal health ideals.

Fear of succumbing to disease, whether one eats perfectly or not, is suffocating for many people—and the resulting anxiety does not promote optimal health or longevity. For me, it eventually led to developing a full-blown eating disorder.

There’s a big difference between listening to one’s body’s innate cues for food and fullness—versus obsessively following a strict plan with absolutely no deviation or nuance.

When I walked away from the stress of 100% compliance, 100% of the time, I settled into a peaceful and natural attunement with my body. (I was put on my first diet at age six, so this has been a refreshing healing journey for me. Actually, I felt this same freedom in 2008 when I first followed “Eat to Live,” but then it turned into an obsessive diet focused on weight and scales, going on and off weight loss challenges and resets, and the demoralizing doom of failure if ideals were not achieved. . .as all diets eventually become.)

The mental energy spent on precision nutrition consumed my attention and focus; and left little energy for other tasks, cognitive performance, and the spontaneous enjoyment of life. However, at the time, I was in complete denial of how much it was adversely affecting my life.

I’m working on a new book now to share more of my story and how God miraculously showed up in my kitchen on November 19, 2023 and set me free. The eating disorder I had been struggling with instantly ceased. Whether one believes in the still small whisper of God’s spirit or not, I believe the gentle instruction will benefit anyone seeking a healthy, balanced, and peace-filled relationship with food and their body.

And, for the record, I will not be appearing on TV talk shows or magazine covers promoting weight loss.

The cognitive dissonance of promoting food as medicine while simultaneously participating in weight loss marketing ads and campaigns such as “The 7-Day Crash Diet” felt uncomfortably incongruent.

Those days are over, and I’m free!
