Words Matter

Well my phone died and with it all my notes for possible blog posts. There were some good thoughts in there. I will be taking some time to remember it all.

Meanwhile, let's talk words. They matter. I would suggest we kick the word "diet" out of the vocabulary. Replace diet with nutrition. Nutrition is a much more holistic word. There's a mind change which comes with thinking nutritionally. Mind matters as much as nutrition does in health and in weightloss. If before you eat you ask,"Is this nutritionally good for me?" There will be times you will decide for a better choice.

We eat for one of two reasons.
1. To support our health and wellness.
2. To mindlessly gratify our emotions.

Which is the better choice?


We live in a culture of convenience.  Convenience is killing us. We don't stop to think before we grab something to eat. Our ancestors ate to live. We live to eat.

So think nutrition when eating. It will be the start of many healthful changes in your life. Healthful change breeds more healthful change.  When you feel better you do better. But you have to make the decision to do better. You got this!

Yummy

One of the biggest obstacles to eating better is not having a repertoire of recipes. Oh my. What to cook? I'm going to help you with what to cook. 

So once a week I will give you something to build your repertoire of healthy recipes. 

Here's the first:

When you roast veggies this is a great sprinkle.

In a salt shaker put equal amounts of Turmeric, Ground black pepper (go easier on that), Garlic powder and (opt. ground ginger).

This is from Rachel Bellers book, Eat to Lose Eat to Win and it is yummy! By the way its a great book too. 

Roasted vegies are a great snack. I especially love brussels sprouts. Cut them in half, sprinkle with olive oil broil... Keep an eye on them. Doesn't take long. They will be crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and a terrific healthy snack.

Another healthy sprinkle I enjoy is simply nutritional yeast. Find it in the herbs aisle. Great on vegies. Wonderful on popcorn. Its tastes kind of cheesy. You will thank me.  

Enjoy!
