I am a rule breaker by default. I generally don’t like when people tell me what to do (except my coaches). I don’t like rules for the sake of rules. When rules are in place I do try to follow them, but my instinct wants me to rebel. No rules should be set in stone except for the moral ones (don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t kill etc.). This being said, I have spent a lifetime making rules about food. I cycle between depriving myself of certain food (making a rule), and then (when the going gets tough) breaking my own rule to binge on the forbidden item. I have done the South Beach diet, Atkins, Body for Life, Paleo, Gluten Free, Gluten Free/sugar free, Gluten Free/sugar free/dairy free, detox diets, the cabbage soup diet etc. All these diets have ONE thing in common… Rules about what you can and cannot…
