Smash the Wellness Industry

[Dorian Gray]

21. The "Wellness industry"

is problematic in that it's not well regulated nor is it usually based on scientific paths to good health.

But the SAD (Standard american diet) is problematic in that it consists of high saturated fats and carbs. Most people when attempting to turn their habits around arne't going to research the most scientifically affective course over longterm. THey're going to choose what they think they can sustain. Some will choose poorly.

A person's diet is personal in that they will choose what they enjoy eating. I did well eating mostly whole foods and perimeter shopping. There's no scientific basis to that. But that, in addition to recording what I ate and added exercise, did the trick when I needed to lose weight.

Getting over the hump of bad habits is superbly tough. There are experts. Anybody selling a magic pill you should be wary of. Consistent small changes. Calories in vs. out. And eating foods that make you feel good are the best ways to start.
