I don't know if any of my followers here are into Human Design (it's a bit like astrology, but a bit more practical in its application).

A lot of people try to eat intuitively, or find a way of eating that suits them. But that's difficult to do when your mind is clouded with so much conflict over what is best. Diet culture has poked its head into many healthy eating spaces time and time again. And every body is different, with different needs. So, you have to let go of all the crap to really start tuning in with your body and nourish it properly.

In Human Design, there is an aspect called digestion (or determination). It dictates how you most efficiently digest/intake information. It's not just limited to food (food is information for your cells). The digestion aspect challenges you to step out of how you may have thought you ought to eat (or learn) (or live in general).

A balanced meal is one that includes a variety of different food groups in the right proportions, providing the body with the nutrients it needs to function properly. It is important to eat a balanced diet to maintain good health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.

There are several key components to a balanced meal:

Carbohydrates: These provide the body with energy and should make up a large portion of the meal. Good sources of carbohydrates include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

Protein: This is necessary for the growth and repair of tissues, and should make up a moderate portion of the meal. Good sources of protein include meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, and plant-based proteins such as beans and nuts.

Fats: While fats have gotten a bad reputation in the past, they are actually an important part of a healthy diet. Fats provide energy and help the body absorb certain vitamins and minerals. Good sources of healthy fats include avocados, olive oil, nuts, and seeds.

Vitamins and minerals: These are essential for maintaining good health and can be found in a variety of foods. Fruits and vegetables are particularly rich in vitamins and minerals, so it is important to include a variety of these in your diet.

To create a balanced meal, try to include a source of each of these components in every meal and snack. For example, a balanced lunch might include a whole grain sandwich with turkey, lettuce, tomato, and avocado (carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats), served with a side of raw vegetables and a piece of fruit (vitamins and minerals).

It is also important to pay attention to portion sizes and choose foods that are nutrient-dense rather than calorie-dense. This means choosing foods that provide a lot of nutrients for relatively few calories, such as vegetables and fruits.
