Yesterday was a travel day. I never had a chance to sit and think and type. I’ve long since given up trying to use a laptop in an airplane seat. Checked into the hotel and went to my first sessions at the software conference I’m attending.
Meanwhile, I finished a book on nutrition and overall health. You Can’t Screw This Up, by Adam Bornstein. Subtitle: Why Eating Takeout, Enjoying Dessert, and Taking the Stress Out of Dieting Leads to Weight Loss That Lasts.
I recommend the book.
Bornstein offers guides to eating, but I think most apply to spiritual health as well as physical health.
1. Stay Nourished
2. Remain Sane
3. Avoid Guilt
These reminded me of Michael Pollen’s rules for eating:
Eat food (meaning real food, not ultra-processed)
Not too much
Mostly plants
Later, Bornstein offers these thoughts:
1. Stop trying to be perfect
2. Eat more satisfying foods
3. Eat fewer hunger-increasing foods (snack junk food)
4. Include foods you love
Try the ideas of not heaping guilt upon yourself, especially for not being perfect, which we’re not.
