New Year's Food Reset

What comes to mind when you think of food?
 
What comes to mind when you think of dieting?
 
What comes to mind when you think of your weight?
 
All of these are loaded questions with incredibly complex answers. 
 
But what if food, diet & weight became simpler?  What if instead of focusing on weight, portion size & calories, you switched your focus?
 
When I work with people around food habits, there are 4 aspects of eating that we focus on:
 
1) Accepting where you are right now with love & compassion.
You’re doing the best you can in a busy, stressful world with big food companies spending billions of dollars to make you eat as many processed foods as possible.  You’re ok just as you are!
 
2) Clarifying your nutrition & health goals.
Yours, not someone else’s.  Only you know what is most important in your life.
 
3) Finding your problem food area.
Most people have one habit that derails their eating plan.  Sometimes it’s having a few drinks at a local bar.  Sometimes it’s a specific food, like chocolate, that they can’t seem to cut out.  Sometimes, it’s stopping regularly at a particular fast-food place.  Once you’re aware of the pitfalls you face, you can decide to make simple changes – diluting drinks with seltzer, having nuts & olives as snacks & finding convenient food shops with healthy choices.
 
4) Adding more vegetables to your diet.
Food  are packages that contain nutrients.  Vegetables happen to be one of the healthiest packages around.  With all the different diets, eating well can become complicated.  The thing that everyone agrees on is that vegetables lead to better health.  Why not start by adding to your diet the one food that there is consensus on, that can be purchased in most local supermarkets & that’s inexpensive & easy to prepare.
 
With these aspects in mind, it’s easier to create a healthy eating plan.  One that focuses on your goals, finds substitutes for problem eating & adds lots of veggies to your daily meals.
 
In the New Year’s Food Reset, I’ll be reviewing these steps in greater detail.  Then we’ll have some fun choosing foods & recipes that are delicious & nutritious as I share my favorite meals & cookbooks.
 
It will be like creating a food vision board for 2025!
