TABLE OF CONTENT

F r starters, flxibl diting i not a dit - it's a nutritional concept. The basic rundown is iml: Yu have a dil lri, macronutrient (carbohydrate, protein, ft), nd fiber target to hit nd long th ifi numbers r hivd, then fd ltin i lft u t your rnl rfrn.

The trm flexible diting h become vr popular as f lt nd many people associate it with th IIFYM (If It Fits Your Mr) way of ting, whih if ur a rgulr fllwr f LBC (nd CWT) you lrd knw w dont quite ubrib t tht litin.

Wht w ftn see these d i l brgging tht theyre a flxibl ditr nd dwn with all the clean tr. Thr h become much ditr polarity n th internet in rnt tim with th IIFYMr on one id nd th ln tr nd br on th thr. And if u CHOOSE t t ln ur lld a br and th #duvnin hhtg is ndndingl thrwn at you. IIFYMr, lik ln tr however, hv bm almost arrogant in thir itin, behaving like th enlightened nd ffing t anyone who takes a diffrnt rh.

Wht these myopic viewpoints fil to nidr i that flxibl dieting nd clean ting r not mutull xluiv nutritional trtgi. You n b a flxibl dieter AND a ln tr (I m utting th term clean eating in quotations because while thr i no univrll grd un definition for thi trm, most of u knw wht wr talking but whn it ud). Yu n ubit on a dit of rdmintl whl fd and STILL be a flexible ditr. I figurd thi was mmn n, but u knw wht th say but common n ...

But I m gtting ff trk hr. Hr the iu I tk with all f this, rah, rh, flxibl diting, I gt t eat whtvr I wnt. I get that. Wr ll fr brking w frm unnr ditr rigidit, abolishing the Gd Fd v Bd Fd lit nd so n. Hwvr, I think mn of th l brgging on flxibl diting are miing th ntir int f flxibl diting, t lt in trm f hw WE dfin it.

Flxibl dieting i nt simply bing bl to t whtvr u wnt (whl fd, single-ingredient foods r otherwise unln foods). Sur, tht flxibl in th n tht u dont hv t t nl X number f foods and not have n ditr vrit; ur, thats flxibl in trm f fd choices. S, thi is th untr t the ln ting dgm. But just as Iv writtn many tim about th Dit Prin, jut bing bl t t a lrgr vrit f fd d nt mn ur not till in a Dit Prin. Wht you , often i iml the substitution of n dietary prison (fd t/gd v bd food rul, t.) fr another dietary rin mth, xl ht, and lultr ll t fit it into your mr. Hw i tht flxibl? Yur till lkd int a significant t of ditr rigidity. Nw I gt that m dietary rigidit i dfinitl ruird, ftr all, th AMOUNT f food consumed is th primary driver f what happens with the hil rn f your bd and w need t ntrl tht, but thi i still nt ll tht flxibl my opinion. In fact, I mentioned, it i potentially jut nthr prison ... vn if you nt th prison bars rund u. Wv hd several lint tr thir hnd at thi or lv t tr it only t come bk. Wh? Th wntd n part of th numril obsession. Point is, it nt fr everyone.

Ill add tht the lt thing a lng-trm r serial ditr nd i mr numril bin; t muh fu n dtil and not nugh focus n mtring bhviur nd process.

THAT i nt flxibl diting.

Flxibl dieting is muh biggr thn simply llwing more vrit int your diet; flxibl diting, REAL flxibl diting i a MINDSET nd an ATTITUDE twrd food, diting, t. In m inin, this nl rtntiv nd to rftl hit macronutrient goals for th day i mjring in th minr. Being an biv number runhr and lultr rrir does nt line u with th MINDSET f flxibl dieting. Oh drn, Im a fw grm ff frm th macros my diet I have t hv, so I cant hv thi. Sure u n, wh r? Its REASONABLY CLOSE. Adjust elsewhere in th day.

Hit ur lri firt and foremost. Get reasonably l t your macro gl. You d NOT have to rftl fit your mr. Just as ln ting is nt a fat-loss requirement, neither i perfectly hitting ur macros.

Th mindt of a tru flxibl ditr i tht f a liftl, not a set f rules. It a way f thinking about food, diet, exercise, ur fitness jurn, t. Whn you g ut to t t a restaurant with ur u, friends or fmil, u n rlx and just enjoy th ml for wht it i, a gd ml. Yur not thinking but th mr nd lri, ur nt lugging th ml into an to count it, youre nt ulling ut a kt l to unt everything. Tht th difference between the mindset of a ditr (IIFYM, ln ting r whatever your dieting permutation i) and th mindt f someone living a hlth/fitn liftl a tru flxibl ditr. And tht th change that will ld u to b in long-term ntrl of this r f ur life. Isnt thi what we all want?

There is nothing flexible but ging out to a rturnt for a big, ft hburgr nd hving t fit it int ur mr.

Summr BBQs? Flxibl dieting is ging and rlxing and njing n off ln meal without wrring but how muh protein, carbs, fat r lri u are but t t. Frgt your lultr r your rtbl food l? Oh darn, Ill b bk. I have t go home nd get it. Wht i flexible about that? Tht just another rin.

I wnt ut fr lunch today with my wif t n uthnti Mxin restaurant. Hr a picture f wht I t. You expect m t fit this in m macros? Hw do u uggt I d that? Evn with a lt, Microsoft Excel, a fd l and a lultr in m kt. Sin I nt, should I hv chosen nthr restaurant? Really flxibl thr.

No. I saw this for what it w an ff-ln ml on a unn ftrnn tht I sat down t nj withut vn n thught but macros r calories. Nxt ml? Back n my ln. Tht i flxibl dieting a mindt. Yull know whn ur a flxibl ditr nd it h little t d with food vrit.
