When teaching people how to be REAL about choosing healthy food I consistently give them the bottom line on how the food they choose works in their body to either promote health or not, but I also teach a practical approach to prioritizing choices because I understand that: 1. Knowing what the BEST choice is doesn’t mean that you will always make it. 2. Knowing how to prioritize a food choice is often WAY more important than just hearing “this food is bad for you, that food is good for you.” 3. In my experience, helping people to make changes gradually, on their own terms and as they learn they “WHYs” leads to changes to the way that they live most of the time rather than for a month here or there. 4. Instilling a fear of food in people or demonizing a food (pork, for example) is not my goal. 5. The idea that a food wasn’t eaten by Paleo man therefore we shouldn’t eat it is a weak defense at best. 6. Food is NOT the end-all-be-all of what makes a person healthy.
