I agree. The right way to find balance is to focus on one thing, to be hugely imbalanced in your pursuit of it, and then to leave it when the time is right. If you follow a routine in what you eat, and eat the same set of foods all the time, you risk exaggerating small imbalances over time, with implications for your health. To avoid this you can either spend a lot of time thinking about what you eat (with implications for balance in other areas), or you just change it up and chase some variety every now and then. Try new things. Listen to your body when it tells you it's had too much of this or that. With 'listen to your body' this thread connects up with this one where DanielBMarkham talks about introspection: http://scrapbook.akkartik.name/post/17541151 http://scrapbook.akkartik.name/post/17541151 (Context: http://hystry.com/newsyc/follow/?http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=73433 http://hystry.com/newsyc/follow/?http://news.ycombinator.com...)
