This blog contains some of my favorite philosophies of success as it pertains to the BTD diet. They are unwritten rules That I live and breathe. They come to life in every aspect of the BTD diet, from my interactions with other people, eating habits and decisions as to what I buy as food. Here they are:

It’s only good if it’s win/win

Do your body some good and try your best to eat (as much as possible) combinations...or single servings but for the sake of this philosophy… of Beneficial/Beneficial, Beneficial/neutral or Neutral/neutral…Beneficial/Avoid, Neutral/Avoid and Avoid/Avoid are not win/win scenarios (try your best not to let those blood specific lectins in by eating foods you can’t digest properly, combining proteins with starches like potatoes and grains or eating ‘Frakenfood’)

Good health many times comes disguised as hard work

Putting food into your mouth without thinking what it will do to you is a very easy thing to do. You might stumble and fall many times while you’re on the diet but all the hard work you do to stay compliant will pay off till eventually it becomes a way of life and a healthy habit

Perfection (perfect health, 100% compliance) is unattainable

If you strive for perfection on the diet you’ll achieve excellent results

Pay attention to your weaknesses (avoids)

Mine are wheat, corn, dairy, many beans and certain fruits and vegetable like cauliflower, potatoes and melons. Lack of strenuous exercise also affects me.

Treat every meal as your only meal…if you don’t, it may be your last meal

We as a society have this “eat and run mentality” when it comes to eating. Savor your food...chew your food thoroughly and savor all the tastes and smells that the food has to offer. Try to eat in a relaxed state away from distractions, like your computer screen, loud music or TV… your stomach and digestive system will thank you and you’ll enjoy many more meals to come.



Smile!

You are one of many people who have experienced beneficial results from being on the BTD diet
