The thing they are missing is that I don’t drink smoothies because they’re healthy, I drink them because they taste good
It’s what I have to remind people when they are trying to change their diet to get in shape and lose weight.
I tell them, your not eating for enjoyment, your eating to fuel your body.
I was very fit, but I was eating like canned tuna and Greek yogurt, not mixed but one after another. That’s not a delicious lunch, but it was just the nutrition that was needed.
For some of us, the joy of good food is the only reliable joy we have.
Oh, yeah. I totally eat for comfort and enjoyment now. But if your trying to lose weight and have a flat stomach it’s hard work and most people need to sacrifice comfort food.
Once you get there, you can eat a bit better. It’s just getting there that’s tough.
