HOW TO BUILD THE ‘PERFECT’ MEAL: PART 2
Building your ‘perfect’ meal is as easy as using your own hand as a guide. No food scale necessary. With a bit of practice, you can learn to measure appropriate portion sizes by using your hand as a measuring tool, without the need to weigh and measure every single ounce or gram of food that passes your lips.
HOW TO BUILD THE 'PERFECT' MEAL: PART I
Let’s throw the word ‘perfect’ out the window. If there is one word that makes me cringe a little, it’s the word ‘perfect,’ because it makes you think that there is only one ideal for which you should be striving. Instead, let’s strive to make the BEST possible meals that we can make for ourselves.
WHAT IF YOU HATE VEGETABLES?
In ‘Micros are Major,’ the importance of getting plenty of micronutrients to ensure you have the most nourishing diet possible is a prequel to this. Micronutrients, or ‘micros,’ are found mostly in vegetables and fruits. Micros are nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
But, what if you don’t like vegetables or fruits? What if you turn green over any food that’s leafy and green?
EMOTIONAL EATING & PRESSING PAUSE
Stress. Deadlines. Emotions. Parties. Weddings. All of these can create the perfect atmosphere to spike our cravings. Pressing the pause button first can help you regain control over your spiraling thoughts and feelings, and that ever-present feeling of “f*ck it!”
FOOD SHAMING NEEDS TO STOP
Last week, the Internet lost their mind over the Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino. Who are we to judge the decisions of others?
THE SCALE IS A LIAR
The scale is one of the biggest liars in your life. Too many of us find ourselves being defined by the number on the scale and we tie our self worth to the number it generates.
FIBER IS YOUR FRIEND
You like to poop, don’t you? Well, then meet your new best friend, fiber.
'MICROS' ARE MAJOR
Unfortunately, life isn’t just doughnuts and cookies. Flexible eating allows you to include some of your favorite indulgent foods, but that doesn’t mean you get to eat like a jerk.
WHY YOUR DIET MAY NOT BE WORKING
Eliminating certain foods from your life may be setting yourself up for a bumpy journey to lifelong wellness.
NUTRITION IS NOT BINARY
Nutrition is not meant to be binary. Black and white. Good and bad. Clean. Cheat. Strict. Splurge. You’re marginalizing everyone around you if you think they should eat like you. Embrace the middle road of balance instead.
