Shopping for healthy nutrition is like looking for the most appropriate programming tools.

Imagine you succeeded to overcome your addiction to sugar and started to avoid industrial processed foods along with avoiding any wheat products and products containing pork or milk. No more addicted to sugar you reject any food containing white sugar and glucose/fructose syrup, too.

Then you walk into a Supermarket selling food in order to get something to eat ... and experience that more than 90% of the shelves is filled with products which you don't need and buy anymore.

Similar experience you will make after you delved into the concept of oOo way of doing things.

All of the sudden the plenty of options to choose from if you reject to obey to foreign rules imposed on you by what advertises as useful and helpful separating what you do from what is actually going on "under the hood" shrinks down to a level far below the 10% you have experienced in the Supermarket. The overwhelming affluence turns into painful scarcity and you become aware that there is no way around as to start from scratch in you want to regain the control over the machine you are using.

You may be so scared by the vision that you need to start from scratch where you are as good as alone on that path and you may be so scared by the vision that you need to accept that all the past efforts of learning multiple programming languages were waste of time, that you quickly turn away from even only trying to find out if this might be something worth to explore.

It's OK ... Fear is a very painful emotion and if you decided in your life that the best way of coping with it is to avoid it at any cost, reading up to this point will become from your point of view worth to be described as waste of time.

Thanks for your attention, the most valuable asset in your portfolio.

I experienced first-hand how healthy nutrition can be the key to good health. So now I have chosen this path for myself. Therefore, I'm very grateful for interesting and varied recipes. I recently tried keto friendly wraps and was pleasantly surprised by the ease of preparation and nutritional value of this dish. So I continue to explore and enjoy a healthy life.

I used to feel overwhelmed by the variety of mustard in a supermarket. Sometimes choice can feel like a burdon.
