I get a lot of questions about my diet, And most of the time I don’t really have any answers. I don’t think there is any universal optimal diet, there are just too many factors to consider from person to person.
so here is the best generalized diet advice I can give:
-shop local when you can. The food is generally fresh, better quality, and more money goes directly to the farmers and producers instead of the middleman. And I think it’s always worth supporting small business farmers who put love and care into what they do.
Even better if you can grow your own food, but that’s definitely a bigger commitment.
Don’t worry about organic, it’s just a certification. Local food should always take highest priority.
-Cook your food from scratch as often as possible. Learn to enjoy it. Not only is this going to save you money, but it allows you to create something and develop appreciation for your food.
if you only follow these two rules, you could do a lot worse for yourself. I’m never going to tell anyone they should eat specific macros, foods, supplements, etc. there are simply too many unknowns so you just have to experiment for yourself. One thing I can guarantee is that whatever diet works for me may not work for somebody else, and even on top of that I’m always experimenting and tweaking things.
so shop local, cook for yourself, and bon appétit.
