Reviewing what you eat & drink in your 'Vitality Journey' to greater health and well-being....
At this time reviewing our diet, learning new ways of being
and setting new habits is key to boosting immunity and this is the prime time
as many of us are in lockdown. A great way to review your diet is via a
food diary for 3 days. As many of us don’t
realise what we do eat since this is done subconsciously in response to stress,
boredom and habit, writing down each piece of food and drink that goes into the
body makes the conscious mind aware.
This awareness can be a great instigator for change. After the 3 days, review your food diary, on
a piece of paper rule a line down the middle on one side note down your process
& refined foods such as flours, pasta’s, chips, lollies, chocolate you are
eating. One the other side note down
all the beneficial foods you consume such as vegetables, fruit, legumes such as
lentils, beans and grains quinoa, oats, brown rice, note down your protein
intake such as eggs, fish, meat.
From here re-evaluate your breakfast, lunch and dinner with
swapping out the non-beneficial to the beneficial (see my blog via our online
store for more details and downloads).
Review your snacking habit and reduce, swap out these with protein
snacks such as roasted chickpeas, toasted pumpkin seeds (recipe on the blog)
etc. Swapping out to healthy protein
snacks and eating protein at each meal this reduces cravings by balancing blood
sugar levels.
Not to overwhelm you, for the next 3 days create your food
diary (download printable on my blog via the website in bio). Then follow my guides over the next week to
turn your diet into an awesome powerhouse that will support your body to
health, vitality and greater wellbeing.
Keep the completed diary in a safe place as in 2 months we will take-up
this challenge again to see how far you have come.
