How 6 San Diegans Changed Their Lives by Changing Their Diet
As in most things, intent makes all the difference. Making dietary changes to punish yourself typically leads to failure. But if your objective is to feel better, you can make the same changes with less resistance and more long-lasting positive results. It won’t feel like a sacrifice because you have a greater goal.
If your diet makes you miserable, then it’s not the right option for you, no matter what anyone says. Your happy medium might be more animal protein, less animal protein, or no animal protein at all. And your preferred diet doesn’t have to have a name. Maybe you’re 80% vegan and 20% carnivore, or 60% keto and 40% fruitarian.
Don’t let labels dictate your lifestyle; experimenting with different eating lifestyles, however, can serve a purpose. It can help you determine what satisfies your body and what satisfies your soul—or it can help you determine what doesn’t.
Mentally and physically, there is no one way to eat healthily. And it should go without saying, but we’ll say it now: If you can honestly say that you feel great, sleep well, wake up energized, and you’re happy with the condition of your body, skin, hair, and nails, then read no further.
You don’t need to adopt a specific dietary preference to live your best life. But if you’re curious about how these San Diegans turned their lives around with wildly different dietary styles, read on.
