Nutrition advice your doctor won't tell you (but should).
#1: You don't need to eat perfectly
Trying for perfection causes more stress than "imperfect" eating ever could. Aim for consistency, not perfection.
#2: Weight isn't the only health marker
Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, energy levels, sleep quality, mental health—all matter MORE than the number on a scale.
#3: Trust your hunger cues
Your body evolved to tell you when it needs food. External rules (eat every 3 hours, no eating after 7 PM) ignore your body's wisdom.
#4: Food isn't medicine
It supports health, yes. But it can't cure disease alone. Don't let anyone sell you "superfoods" as cures.
#5: Manage stress first
Chronic stress affects digestion, metabolism, appetite, sleep, and inflammation more than most dietary choices.
The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 6, Verse 17):
"One who is moderate in eating, sleeping, work, and recreation can mitigate all sorrows."
Moderation. Balance. Not extremes.
Your doctor means well but has 15 minutes with you. I'm giving you the full picture.
