You may already be, or soon will be, eating in a genuinely healthy way. As a result, probably for the
first time in your life, your body will be getting all of these nutrients it needs and will be able to
work efficiently, giving you those seven success results I keep mentioning.
Despite that, there will no doubt be times when you fall prey to the influences of nutrient-poor
foods. Sometimes, you may just want to eat a nutrient-poor food. After all, you’ve been eating these
foods your whole life! And, while this may sound like a rationalization, you need to be able to do
that without throwing yourself into a psychological or nutritional downward spiral any time it
happens.
When I was making the switch, there were short periods of time where I purposely ate some junk
food, even during times when everything was “going great.” I purposely broke my own momentum,
just so I could build the psychological skills needed to handle those times when my behaviors were
counter to my objectives or values. It worked.
Excellence in Nutrition—You Have Arrived
To arrive at the nutrient-rich healthy eating style entirely on your own, you would have had to
travel a pretty long path of trial and error. There are so many vested interests in the vicious cycle,
considering all of the nutrient-poor eating styles and how many commercial diets and eating
philosophies are wrapped up in each one. Many have some benefits, but none hold the full promise
of nutrient-rich healthy eating, which can be customized and adapted to your unique needs, and
which offers all the benefits everyone wants.
Ultimately, all dietary roads lead to nutrient rich because it is the only truly healthy eating style you
can maintain for life. That is why nutrient rich is the new two-word buzz-term for healthy eating.
Nutrient Rich, along with other concepts like “plant strong,” are the new status symbols for people
who actively choose to eat, think and live in ways that are healthy, sustainable and successful. This
is because when a nutrient-rich healthy eating style becomes your norm, chances are you have
become someone who is truly enthusiastic about improving your lifestyle as a whole—and for the
right reasons.
If you are reading this far, and you aren’t already a Nutrient Rich® Healthy Eater, you probably at
least want to know more so you can go beyond contemplating the switch and actually make the
Switch to Rich.
For starters, you need to know that the way you are eating (or will be eating) IS the healthiest and
most successful way to eat, and that it’s working for you, not against you. Let's now take a closer
look at how The Nutrient Rich® Healthy Eating Plan does just that.
