Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Great question. A lifetime ... as long as the fruits are ripe, the nuts and avocado are occasional, and the greens are a regular component. And of course, as long as you get plenty of rest, activity, sunshine ... the usual components of healthful living. The best source of dietary variety comes from changing soils/growing locales. For example, monkeys will travel from fig spot to fig spot as the figs ripen. And each time they move a bit, the soil, and other growing characteristics change, and their diet varies.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 excellent! i like regularity over variety...meaning that if i know what im going to get, and when its in season, and i get the same stuff all the time, its soooo much easier than trying to " think " about what to eat.... i know what my favorite foods are,,ill stick to those and only stretch when something special is in season... this is a pattern i was in this month..i found that getting the same stuff and doing the same thing actually worked...i didnt have to worry...and i looked forward to it...when i get past this hormonal madness ive got a really gooooood plan!! i know just what foods im gonna eat... thanks! we are hypermotivated now...!! anna On 6/7/07, Elchanan <Elchanan wrote: > > Great question.

If doing this, don't you run the risk of developing a food allergy (especially if you have leaky gut)? Or is this only for SAD foods?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I understand what you are saying, it makes sense to me, However, I tend to have 2 cycles. I can go awhile with the same old stuff and be fine, then all of a sudden I feel " bored " . I then feel the need for variety. I need something different. I can't get bored with what I'm eating because it tends to make my eyes wander to the bad stuff. lol I have to keep my taste buds stimulated and happy.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Jeannie, I suggest to you that this " need " you experience for something different does not arise within you as a physical need. The answers lie in other parts of you ... in your mind, in needs unmet over long periods of time. There is no " it " that " makes " your eyes " wander " anywhere. There is only you, distractible and distracted, etc. Stimulated taste buds, in the sense that you mean, are hyperstimulated taste buds ... they lose their capacity for taste when so hyperstimulated. What you are experiencing is the opposite of what you believe you are experiencing. For each time you feel " bored " , your taste buds (among other things) are beginning to come back online, to regain their biologically normal functionality. And this success...this authenticity...you fear. That is my sense. More if interested ...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 What can I say? I'm just weird that way. My dh is more like you. He could eat the same thing every day and be happy. It does make it easy for me in that sense. I guess there must be something " unsettled " about me when I get like that. I just have times when I just need something different.
