Fed Is Better Than Ideal
One of the most important truths in this entire guide:
A meal does not need to be optimal to be valid.
Nutrition culture has convinced people:
- convenience is failure
- repetition is failure
- frozen food is failure
- safe food reliance is failure
Meanwhile starvation, burnout, and executive collapse are apparently morally admirable.
Ridiculous.
Sometimes the healthiest possible meal is:
“the food you can actually eat.”
A nervous system supported imperfectly survives better than a nervous system abandoned perfectly.
Your body deserves nourishment.
Even when:
- overwhelmed
- grieving
- burnt out
- exhausted
- understimulated
- overstimulated
- depressed
- struggling
Especially then.
