Food
So I'm beginning to be more attracted to improving myself on the field of health. To be precise: food.
I think I'm going to follow the same strategy as with seduction and relationships: just try out myself, see what is effective and feels good to me, talk to people on the same path. I'm going to follow the strategy for money too at some point in my life, but not now.
Coincidentally it seems a basic fear always needs to be conquered. Looking like a fool, being vulnerable, being alone, being poor, ... I don't know what the fear is regarding food, but I'll learn soon enough. The most difficult part will proabably be getting rid of habits, I believe.
I don't believe in this "nutritionism" that rules the waves lately with their millimiterized measurements that now fill half of the grocery stores. I feel more for going back to real food and trusting your body's wisdom. Making small shifts in what you take in. Cane sugar instead of processed beet sugar, brown bread instead of white, reducing dairy products, reducing salt, start drinking more water. In fact this is an elaboration of things that I have already done most my life.
And lo and behold, some synchronicities are popping up in my life, like this book from Michael Pollan In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. Then to say I found it through a random link in Youtube leading to Zuzana's excellent fitness website which I only followed because I actually cursed aloud when I saw her ass (translation for the women: that's a Good Thing).
Long live the wisdom of my instincts :)

PS. I know some of my reader's aspire tight abs. Check out that site too for some good info.

Food. To me it seems weird that people need books or food coaches to know what is good for their body.
If I'm listening to my body, I instinctively feel what it needs: I can crave for some fresh fruit or water, or a piece of meat with hot bean sauce after a mountain walk and I feel sick when I ate too much chocolate. I'm afraid a lot of people lost connection to their inner voice. You're smarter than you think. Throw away all strategies and listen.
