How to learn about nutrition by Robin 13

It took me

3 months

It made me

Glad & Relieved.

"Probably the best thing I have done for myself lately."

How I did it: I've read a lot of books about the subject, both about nutrition and eating disorders. A lot about how your brain works in relation with food is explained in the latter, where cravings come from, where fat goes. It helped me understand that self-control is only one part of the equation, the other is simply the body's fight to survive.

For "quick" additional info (e.g. which is the healthiest apple and other such specific details, that I am still not sure about) , there's always Google.

Lessons & tips: Please, take my word and learn about nutrition BEFORE starting any diet etc. Looking back now, I could have probably speared 5 years of eating-disordered existence... if only I had known a few things. 

Learning about nutrition not only leaves you able to make the right choices for you, but moreover... focusing on the multitude of healthy options, it is altogether quite motivating when contemplating long-term, positive changes in your diet.
