Day 15: Mindful Nutrition

image



Hi ,


Food as fuel sounds great, doesn't it?


Of course we need food to fuel our lives. We need complex carbohydrates to give real power our workouts and we need protein to rebuild our muscles. We need healthy fat for clear skin and shiny hair. We need those macronutrients, and we need micronutrients, vitamins and minerals to reach optimal health.


When we introduce mindfulness to our eating habits, we start to recognize how our body feels when we fuel it properly. We notice when we have let hours go by and haven't eaten because we are too busy - hangry is real. We notice when we eat a large meal full of gluten and sugar after eating anti-inflammatory, because our bellies feel bloated. We noticed how a fresh salad tastes - even in winter, and sweet blueberries are when we haven't been eating chocolate chips straight from the bag.


Not that I do that :-)


When I first created The Healthy Six I wanted it to be "tough" so you felt you got your money's worth. We got through 21-days of eating and it was "thank God that's over." Now, the Evolution of this Program has become a way of life for me and for those who embrace it.


If you are a sugar addict, or a chip-a-holic, or will happily murder someone for warm bread slathered in butter, I hope you spend the next month looking at your relationship with your favourite foods and change it to a love story.


It is ok to love the food you love. But it is even better when you have a place for it, and when you fill your body with healthy, nourishing Healthy Six food.
