My coaching clients often feel that their early wins are eating more balanced meals…

…and that their later wins are eating reasonable amounts and stopping with unbalanced or extra delicious meals.

*OPTION THREE*
Some combination of one and two.

*OPTION TWO*
• Eat at meal that’s not as balanced
• But eat it slowly
• And without distractions
• And stop when full

You can still stop when full with unbalanced meals, or just takes more effort and skill.

*OPTION ONE*
Eat a balanced-ish meal
- 25% of your plate protein
- 25% of your plate carbohydrates
- like 50% vegetables or fruit
- A serving or two of fat

Something that looks kind of like the Harvard School of Public Health’s “Healthy Eating Plate.”

I often recommend people eat something balanced-ish. But it’s only because it’s more filling for less total food energy.

Pragmatically it works.

But it’s not the only way to make a meal work.

The Nazis claimed to copy the "Roman Salute." The Nazi Salute = Roman Salute.

Of course, there's no historical record of the Roman Salute existing. Nazis believed it, though. Was that Nazi propaganda?

Originally, it was the Fascist Salute. It originated with the Italian Fascist Party.

I just hadn't ever read about studies on it, where they quantified how many hours of saltwater per year led to which specific changes in soil. The trees going dormant months earlier was something that surprised me, as was the movement of clay. Or that salt caused water in the soil to brew like tea.
