The great divorce of body and mind.
I have a philosophy that goes something like this: you were born a complete, integrated whole of a being. Your mind, your thoughts, your body, your feelings, and your behaviours all converged in a single indivisible unit of you-ness. When you needed food, you felt hunger, thought of food, and cried or reached out for [...]
Food isn’t poison.
One thing I dislike about nutrition is how often we discuss eating as though it’s something incredibly dangerous that people must do just right or risk INSTANT DEATH.

But because this blog is about nutrition, dieting, and normal eating, and because [...]
The rules of nutrition.
First rule of nutrition: eat or die. Second rule of nutrition: there are no other rules. This is not something you are likely ever to hear from someone in my field, since we make our living by thinking up rules and then pretending they have been whispered in our ears by God himself, but nevertheless [...]
Eat food. Stuff you like. As much as you want.
