🍽️ When Food Becomes Fuel (Not Just Flavor)
I hear people say all the time:
“Ew, I don’t like that.”
“I’d never eat that.”
“That’s not for me.”
And I get it. I used to think the same way.
But now that I’m all about my health, hormones, and energy, I finally understand what my parents meant when they’d say:
“Eat it, it’s good for you.”
As a kid, I didn’t get it.
Now, it clicks.
It’s not about eating what tastes the best. It’s about eating what does the most for your body.
🧠The Mindset Shift
Our relationship with food has changed so much.
Back then, our ancestors didn’t have added sugars, seed oils, or processed snacks. They ate to survive, to stay strong, to fuel their bodies.
Today, food has become more about pleasure than purpose, and that’s where many people lose their power.
And don’t get me wrong, I still love food. I love to enjoy it. But I’ve learned to see it differently:
Not every meal has to be a “treat.” Some meals are just there to serve me, to give my body what it needs.
That mindset alone will change how you feel about your plate.
🍖 Why I Eat Things I Don’t Always “Love”
Take liver for example.
Most people say “ew” before they even try it.
But when you look deeper, liver is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat.
It’s loaded with:
• Protein to support lean muscle growth
• Iron to boost energy and oxygen levels
• Vitamin A and B12 for skin, hormones, and focus
• Minerals that balance your metabolism and immune system
Compared to something like steak, which is still great, liver offers so much more nutritionally. It’s like nature’s multivitamin in real food form.
🌿 The Lesson
You don’t have to love every bite.
You just have to respect what that bite does for you.
Some foods are pleasure.
Some foods are purpose.
Both belong, but they don’t deserve equal space in your diet.
So next time you hear yourself say, “I don’t like that,” pause and think:
Maybe it’s not my favorite, but it’s good for me… and that matters.
✨ Takeaway
When you start choosing food based on how it serves your body, not just how it tastes, you step into a higher level of discipline, balance, and confidence.
That’s where real transformation begins, from your mindset, not your macros.
Because nourishment is the real luxury.
And the more you treat your body like it deserves premium fuel, the more it starts to show up that way: strong, radiant, and resilient. 💪🏽
