My Simple Diet of Super Yummy and Delicious Food

By Josh Campbell · On February 12, 2014

I eat some of the most amazing food in the world, and I cook it all myself. This is something I would never have said let alone claimed, even just a few years ago. My delicious diet is forever getting yummier and yummier and so much easier, simpler and more fun to make. In fact, I made a meal this morning; it was super delicious food to eat and super yummy in the body. My food is nothing special, anyone can make it. Yet my diet is free of dairy, wheat (and other similar grains), alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, sugar, excessive salts, yeast and many other things considered ‘normal’ to eat. When I present the simplicity and yumminess of my food, people often find it hard to understand that my diet is free of almost everything (not quite, though 🙂 ) that you can buy at the supermarket. In fact, I often skip whole aisles at the supermarket because almost everything in that aisle has something in it I choose not to eat! It’s not the fact that my food is so super yummy that people find hard to grasp. Nope, it is the fact that I can make soups, curries, dips, crackers, pancakes, smoothies, roasts, salads and lots of other things from an ever expanding range of foods I cook.

FAQ’s ABOUT MY SUPER DELICIOUS DIET AND MY CHOICE TO EAT DAIRY AND GLUTEN FREE

When I have been asked what’s in my diet, what it is that I eat and why I eat the things I do choose to eat, I have often said, “Well, because I am dairy and gluten free”. I came to realise the other day that I have been using this as a way of ‘freeing’ (pun intended) myself from the responsibility of presenting the real reason I choose to eat the things I do. Most people who are ‘gluten and dairy free’ don’t actually want to be gluten and dairy free. Most of the people I talk to that are, hate it and think it is a curse. Many actually want to be eating gluten and dairy as part of their diet, when their body is clearly telling them that it is not OK for it when they do so.

As a society we tend to class people in a separate category, like in the ‘gluten and dairy free’ box, if they exhibit extreme signs of a condition as a result of being intolerant to gluten or dairy. We often don’t connect with the reality that maybe our bodies do signal to us the signs of gluten or dairy intolerance on a much less extreme scale.

For instance, in my experience gluten and dairy dulls the body. It makes me heavy, bloated and leaves me feeling very lethargic and not very vivacious. Not to mention the fact that for me now, food containing gluten and dairy just doesn’t seem to have the same yumminess as food I have come to make that doesn’t contain it at all. So by choice I do not have gluten and dairy in my diet. Simple. I could class myself as ‘gluten and dairy free’, but in truth a more correct way for me would be to say “My diet is free of dairy and gluten”, as it recognises the fact that my diet is based on a choice to eat foods I feel honour and support me and my body as I work throughout my day… resulting in a very simple yummy and delicious diet! My diet is so super yummy, not only because the food actually tastes so super good, but also because the food is what my body actually needs to support it throughout the entire day.

In my experience, dairy and gluten (not to mention the other things my diet is now free of, like alcohol), inhibits the body and its natural flow during the day. It does not support it but rather abuses and harms it.

Want proof of this? Well, have a pie, or cake or huge slab of chocolate. Enjoy the taste, sure. But feel the body afterwards. Actually stop and feel it. Be honest…

  • Does your body feel racy?
  • Does it feel heavy or bloated?
  • Do you feel alive and ready to work?
  • Do you feel that chocolate bar that was so super deliciously yummy supports your body going through the day?

Some people have asked me if I ever get tempted to have a treat day and binge out on those ‘bad foods’ I used to have, like chocolate. My answer: “Nope, never”. The reason: because my food now is so super yummy that there would be no reason to! And after all, why on earth would I ever go back to wanting to feel bloated, heavy, lethargic, slow, unproductive, abusive (to the body) and all the other symptoms I – and many others – get from eating foods that are clearly harmful to the body, let alone lacking in what the body truly needs to support it in its activity? How do I make my delicious diet of super scrumptious, delicious and divinely yummilicious food?… Not from a cook book per se, but from listening to my body. It’s that simple. Forever inspired by the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. By Josh Campbell, 20, University Student, NZ

    Thank you for this blog as it is written as an honouring to your body and how amazing it is when it is not feeling bloated or lethargic. We often eat without any thought to how our bodies will feel in fact I can honestly say I never stopped to consider the effects food would have on my body I just ate or drank because I could. I never stopped to consider the effects over indulging in alcohol had on my body. I knew I felt dreadful the next day suffering with a hangover but it didn’t stop me from doing the same thing again. Looking back I was so checked out of my body I was allowing another energy to run it one that had no consideration or compassion for me. It is a great lesson not to check out because I had no say in what was checking in!

    Most of the time when people ask me why I tend to resort to saying “I get violent diarrhea” and the intention is to kill the conversation then and there and it does work. However, reading this has got me questioning this. Do I have to kill the conversation or can I just claim that I make different choices and be cool with that…

    I love going into a supermarket and knowing that most things in there I would not eat, I head straight for the fresh fruit and veg – life is actually so more simple when we take away that which is not required.

    The more aware we are of the effect different food has on our body the greater the awareness of the effect of the preparation, cooking and how and when we eat.

    Love how you celebrate that not only is your diet free of gluten and dairy but you are free of the desire to consume these substances that have a negative impact on your body and instead enjoy your ‘diet of super scrumptious, delicious and divinely yummilicious food’.

    You are so clear about what and why you like your home made food, Joshua, no 5 star restaurant could do a better service for you. it makes me laugh when people at Christmas say ..‘have a chocolate and give yourself a treat’. We give our body a treat every day when we listen to what it does and doesn’t want to eat. I don’t get it right all the time, but I certainly listen these days.

      I am listening to my body too Gill and I can tell that around 2:30 pm I start to crave sugar and I look at my watch and see the time it’s like an alarm going off. It’s around this time that most people start to crave sugar I heard it is something to do with our circadian rhythms it’s a low point in the afternoon. In the past I would have felt the cravings and had a cup of tea and a few biscuits or something with sugar to give me a spike of energy. Now I know what is occurring I do not fall for the temptation.

    Beautiful blog Joshua, I too have been listening to my body more and more. It is super sensitive and when it comes to food, I can feel tired if I eat too much yummy food, eat something salty, sweet or fried foods. It really is very simple, when we listen to our body it will guide us to eating in a way that deeply nurtures our body.

    This is a work in progress for me. Yes I am also gluten/dairy free but I also find ways to eat food that leaves me bloated and dull. Some days I eat to nourish and other times I eat to numb. I know my body loves the nourish over the numb and I am working through the reasons why I choose to numb at times.

    Most people would say for the best foods they have to go to a restaurant and eat out but, as you shared too, I do love the food I pepare and think it is my favourite! And it is all very simple without a recipe just from what feels true to eat that day.

    I love your opening line and it made me reflect and appreciate how much more I honor myself through how I eat and how amazing I feel as a result. I have always been conscious of what I ate and how I felt to a degree but then I would knowingly override it and indulge in foods that made me feel unwell, persevering all the same. The more I began to honor my body and was honest with what I was feeling the less I wanted to pollute it and my diet and how I choose to nourish my body naturally changed to be one that supports me more to feel and live with far greater vitality consistently.

      I agree with what you have shared Carola by wanting to honour what my body is telling me the tendency to eat foods that I now know will upset it’s natural rhythm is less and less. Its because the feeling I have in my body is so utterly gorgeous that there is no way I want to disturb it.
