When people ask me about the best diet, I wish they had a few hours to spare. Writing helps me share my thoughts more efficiently, but in person, I'm known for my marathon monologues. Here's my take:

Eat to Thrive

Focus on consuming more animal products and fewer plant-based foods, and you'll be on the right track. The truth is, you are what you eat, and the quality of your food directly impacts your well-being. If you want to change, you need to adjust your diet.

Feel the Difference

It's not about restrictive eating or obsessing over calories. Instead, focus on increasing the good stuff and reducing the bad. You likely know what's good and bad for you; trust your instincts. Pay attention to how different foods make you feel. If you feel energised and vibrant after eating something, it's probably a good choice. If you're tired and sluggish, it might not be the best option.

Your Personal Experiment

Here's a simple approach: start a food diary. Write down everything you eat, including portion sizes and how you feel afterwards. Don't weigh yourself or obsess over numbers. Instead, focus on how you feel. When you're feeling great, take note of what you ate. That's your starting point.

Expand Your Options

As you experiment with different foods, pay attention to how your body responds. Notice changes in your energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. You might find that certain foods make you feel amazing, while others leave you feeling drained.

Take Control

No one can tell you how to be healthy; that's a personal journey. By paying attention to your body and adjusting your diet accordingly, you'll be well on your way to feeling your best. Start early, and you can enjoy a healthier, happier life.

Live Longer, Live Better

Incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine, and you'll be investing in your future well-being. With time and patience, you'll develop a deeper understanding of what works for you. And when the time comes for you to pass on, ideally, it'll be peaceful, with a sense of fulfilment.
