A diet by any other name

Everytime I go inot the book store, I am bombarded with diet books. Everyone and their granny has a diet book out. Even celebrities are coming out with fitness books or a new diet book. The word diet means a particular selection of food. The way that you eat. However, the way that the word has been thrown around lately, you would think it was a new designer handbag or something that everyone MUST have. The fact is, there ARE different ways to eat healthy.

• Macrobiotic diet: "a dietary regimen which involves eating grains as a staple food supplemented with other foodstuffs such as local vegetables avoiding the use of highly processed or refined foods and most animal products.
• Raw food diet: "is the practice of consuming uncooked, unprocessed, and often organic foods as a large percentage of the diet."
• Vegetarian diet: "encompasses the practice of following plant-based diets (fruits, vegetables, etc.), with or without the inclusion of dairy products or eggs, and with the exclusion of meat (red meat, poultry, and seafood)."

Even within the vegetarian diet, there are different levels to the diet that people follow. There are many other diets and ways to eat. It's not that they are all wrong, they just may not be right for you. Just because diet worked for someone does not mean it will work for you.

I skimmed this book by a particular celebrity, now turned vegan and she had a wonderful story. However, the recipes called for ingredients that my local grocers did not carry. I would have to drive clear across to Virginia just to see if the store carried it and then drive back. Even if they did carry the ingredient, by the time I got home, I would be too tired to cook anything.

Many of the people I have met say they want to change their eating habits but don't know how or where to start. With all of the books and information out there on diets, it could get confusing and discouraging when you don't know where to begin. That is where a holistic health and wellness coach and nutrition consultant comes in. A holistic nutrition consultant educates you on the diet that would best benefit your nutritional needs. While the holistic health and wellness coach, will coach you along your journey to achieve the goals you have set. Starting this journey can be scary and therefore making it easy to put it off or quit when discouraged. Having someone there who knows nutrition and how to motivate you into action, makes it easier.
