“Stop being a slave to bad eating habits that are making you sick! Choose instead to eat the foods that will nourish and heal your body”
This is a good time to start practising better eating habits before the onslaught of holiday decadence. You have to re-learn how to eat and practice for some time before it becomes second nature. Start adopting healthy habits now, that you can keep as guidelines throughout the holidays and resume in the New Year ahead. Your body is constantly talking to you: start listening to it!
If you choose to keep meat in your diet, start incorporating the mediterranean diet as part of
your weekly menu: eat more fish and switch to olive oil
-
Use herbs, spices or even pepper instead of salt
-
Try replacing some meat-based meals with legumes like beans and lentils
-
Eat smaller portions and stop when you’re 80% full. It takes the brain 15-20 min. to realize your stomach is full
-
Treat yourself with small portions of your favourite indulgences occasionally (you be the judge)
-
Eat at home more often than you eat out: make large batches of healthy meals, then portion and refrigerate or freeze for quick instant meals later
