Once I started accepting that there are no more restrictions, the internal battle ended.<\/p>\n<p>Now, instead of trying to make the choice between handcuffing that inner rebel who hated following the rules, or going wild and behaving radically, I find I&#8217;m naturally making the best choices among what I want, what I need and what I have. The purpose of various foods is more obvious, not because someone said so, but because my body knows it is so. When I need protein, I don&#8217;t want chocolate. When <a title=\"Chocolate Lover?
