I think the absolute hardest thing for me is that I'm fairly well read and very interested in nutrition, so I know what is recommended to eat to be "healthy." While I also know that most of those foods do not agree with me, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I need to eat white bread, not whole grain bread, and that I need to cook the crap (and vitamins!) out of my veggies, that I can't eat them raw. Plus, for instance, I think brown rice is way tastier than white, but I don't always handle it so well.
I know what you mean by this. I have an MS in nutrition and the EFI diet goes against every fiber (so to speak) of my being. But, it seems to help, so I have to keep telling myself that feeling well trumps all my "book learnin'".
