You are not me

conformity

The first rule of Undieting is, don’t talk about … wait, wrong movie.

The first rule of Undieting is that you are not me. That’s kind of the rule for lots of things, actually, but it’s really important when it comes to eating. Because you don’t like the same things I do.

You have to like it — unless you don’t

Bookstores are littered with diet books by super-human genetic freaks with abs that can cut glass, telling you how they lost weight on a diet of croutons and kelp. Unless you really like croutons, odds are you won’t be sticking with that diet no matter how much weight you lose.

Which is why people who love food have such a hard time sticking to diets. We barely get started on them before we realize it ain’t gonna work.

But some people do like croutons and kelp. So for them, a lifetime eating like that doesn’t sound like such a bad deal.

In all seriousness, some people just don’t care about food. They don’t care what they eat. Food is fuel.

Ignore those people

Not because they’re wrong. They’re not. They are 100% right … for them. But they’re wrong for you, because you have different priorities.

Don’t take advice that you don’t agree with. Only you know what’s right for you.

And if that means kelp? Well, I can’t help you there. I’m sure you can find some recipes online.
