The journey towards finding what is right for your body is indeed quite personal and there isn't really any one size fits all solution. I believe in intuitive eating and trusting your body to tell you what's good for it. Personally, I've been blessed with a good metabolism and haven't changed height or weight since I was about 15 years old. I also agree that your landscape really does influence you. There is a certain type of nightshade berry that every report online will tell you is poisonous, but the locals have found a way to consume it, sun drying it and curing it in yoghurt for weeks before it's consumed. I've grown up eating rice as a staple as that's what was commonly used in the diets of people from my hometown. Even now, if I don't eat rice for long periods of time, I feel a certain something lacking. Also, that cover image looks absolutely delicious and I would love to devour everything in it!
