Food \u2013 such a controversial topic. Eating \u2018healthily\u2019 has never been so confusing; from detoxes to meal plans to \u2018where do you get your protein\u2019 conversations, I think it\u2019s time we addressed that most of us feel confused about how to feed ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, I\u2019ve met more than one yogi that went on a juice cleanse once a month to \u2018reset\u2019 or cut out caffeine for 38 and a half days to balance their hormones. I\u2019ve also met plenty of vegan and vegetarian yogis who gave up animal products to honour ahimsa, or non-harming, one of the principles of yoga. And that\u2019s cool \u2013 you do you. But for many yogis (and a yogi is just someone who does yoga, not a special category of vegans who float in meditation), it isn\u2019t necessarily realistic to go on some crazy restrictive diet of steamed vegetables with a side of broccoli. Just like it isn\u2019t realistic to practice 90 minutes a day, 6 times a week, for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
