So many people think healthy eating has to be all or nothing. One “bad” meal, and they feel like they’ve failed. That’s not how real change works.

💡 It’s about the habits you build over time.
✅ Eat whole foods most of the time.
✅ Stay consistent, not restrictive.
✅ Focus on progress, not perfection.

Small, daily choices lead to big results. Just keep going. Your body will thank you.

Ever notice how most diets feel impossible to stick to? That’s because they’re built around what you can’t have instead of what your body actually needs.

❌ Cut carbs.
❌ Count calories.
❌ Eat less, move more.

But here’s the truth: Your body doesn’t want to be deprived. It wants to be nourished. The more you focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods, the less you’ll feel trapped in the cycle of cravings, restrictions, and frustration.

Forget the diets. Fuel your body, and let your health take care of itself.

What does what we eat and the petroleum industry have in common?

An estimated 70–80% of synthetic food additives (like artificial colorings, some preservatives, and flavorings) are petroleum-derived or have petroleum-based components.

This doesn't mean they contain crude oil, but that they're chemically synthesized using compounds originally derived from petroleum.

Common petroleum-derived additives include:

Artificial dyes (e.g., Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1)

BHA (Butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT

(Butylated hydroxytoluene) – used as preservatives

Propyl gallate – another antioxidant preservative

TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) – used in oils and processed foods

Why petroleum?
Petroleum is cheap, versatile, and contains hydrocarbons that serve as building blocks for complex synthetic chemicals.

Note:
Natural additives exist too (like beet juice for coloring or ascorbic acid for preservation), and there's a growing movement toward cleaner, plant-based alternatives.

Whole foods don’t need fancy labels. An apple doesn’t scream ‘low fat.’ Broccoli isn’t advertising ‘high fibre.’

But ultra-processed foods? They’re covered in misleading claims.
⚠️ “Natural”
⚠️ “High protein”
⚠️ “Low fat”
⚠️ “Sugar-free”

🚨 Don’t fall for the hype. If you need to read a label to figure out if something is healthy, it probably isn’t. Stick to real, whole foods—they don’t need a marketing campaign.
