Arsenic in brown rice! Plastics are hormone disrupters? Mercury in fish! Is organic really pesticide free? Mold in cantaloupe! And so many diets to follow- Paleolithic, blood type, raw, mediterranean, gluten-free, vegan, DASH, and more.

Some days, I find myself eating off the floor where the contaminants aren’t labeled and I can consider it free-range, organic, and homegrown. Is this the best diet? So much information is coming at me, and it’s valuable. But what good does it do if I am in the fetal position all day. And food happens everyday. It’s in the kitchen, in the car, at the office…well, on my shirt and in my hair these days. I want to be calm and capable. I want to enjoy my life. I want to eat food. Maybe ignorance is bliss?

No, I need a CTFD diet.

Over the next few posts, I want to explore a recipe of CALM:

Choose your battle- Trim down to a fight that packs the best punch.

Accept the situation- Observe yourself and be honest.

Let go- Dismiss that which serves no purpose

Make your move- It’s your decision.
