We can all improve our health. We can all have more energy, better sleep, more vitality and stronger bodies but we have to CHOOSE that. We have to get past the metabolic causes of our poor food cravings and then have the initiative and the hope to care about our bodies. You can’t fully create the change you want to in the world and be there for your family and friends, if you don’t take care of your own health first.
Are you driven to consume sugar, refined carbohydrate, salty snacks or caffeine, even when you are trying not to? The first step to changing your relationship to food is to understand that relationship. Succumbing to food cravings is rarely a matter of willpower.
I remember the first time I attended a gluten free vendor fair. I was aghast! I felt as though I had stepped into a nightmare or a horror flick with hoards of zombies…pasty faced, walking stiff…uncomfortable… Thankfully, fixated not on eating my brains, but on eating as much of the gluten free processed food manufacturers’ samples as humanly possible. Half crazed, awaiting their next white sugar, starchy, processed food fix.
