I'm making sure not to step on the scale until Saturday because if there's a chance that I'm not dropping weight already and I've just been so violated by goji berries, I might think it's not worth it. I almost fell into my dinner (which I'm sure was slightly against BSD because it included a small sweet potato), so hungry! But you know how food always tastes so much better when you're hungry? Yep, everything else but goji berries

We know that if you eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables and do regular exercise, nothing is a superfood. And if you don’t, no superfood will save you." Discuss.

RevBarbaraG Nov 2016 11:25pm, 28 Nov 2016 3,178 posts	Quote Pin RevBarbaraG It's the differing views on what constitutes a balanced diet that makes it complicated. Most people seem to agree that whole food is better than processed, and too much sugar is bad. Beyond that.... you picks your study and you takes your choice. This evening I overdosed on macadamia nuts and 85% cocoa chocolate.
Helegant Nov 2016 10:05am, 29 Nov 2016 3,858 posts	Quote Pin Helegant I totally agree with the sentiment that one shape of nutrition doesn't suit all and am fascinated by the different aproaches. The idea of eating chocolate and almond butter sounds very appealing.
RevBarbaraG Nov 2016 2:25pm, 29 Nov 2016 3,179 posts	Quote Pin RevBarbaraG With my approach, both almond butter and very dark chocolate are OK in small doses. However, you really only can manage them in small doses...
