Originally I was working with a coach who recommended food combining and that's why I was eating in the style above. I have since decided to part ways with said coach because I wasn't correctly following his programs or dietary protocols. I didn't think it was fair to him. That's what the betonite clay, swiss kriss and all that was. I've since moved away from that more to a warrior diet like eating style.
Habitually I would say I'm naturally more of a warrior diet type of person. Eating lighter during the day and a bit heavier at night. This is what I'm beginning to revert back to and which is natural to me. Some fruit and/or protein during the day. A large salad, steamed vegetables and healthy protein at night. Only taking fish oil, multivitamin and creatine.
Growing up overweight, having a stutter and being teased for it, really affected my relationship with food. I don't like to eat in front of others or with others and I often eat in private. I tend to binge eat sugar and 'bad' foods if I had a bad day. Oftentimes buying far more than I can even enjoy but feel obligated too. I tend to go extreme in one direction aka fasting and then over compensate in the other direction aka overeating. This essentially led me to think that if I don't eat or eat very light for long periods, I can eat whatever I want and be fine. Which we all know just isn't true or healthy.
My eating is very emotions based but I am trying to fix it by being kinder, gentler and forgiving to myself. I'm trying to eat in a way that makes sense to me but that calories do indeed matter, even if I'm eating it after a 20 hour fast.
I hope this helped you understand, I'd be happy to clarify further if you'd like.
