Calorie counting... *sigh* It's like a never-ending math class that just won't let you have fun with food. But fear not, my friends. We're breaking up with calorie counting and embracing a healthier, more intuitive way of eating.
It's time for liberation from diet culture indoctrination. Here's how:
Let's turn your plate into a canvas of vibrant colors and nutritious goodness! Load up on non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, and bell peppers. Create a masterpiece with your fork. Trust me, when your plate looks like a veggie rainbow, you'll feel like a culinary artist. Look, one more thing you can add to your Instagram bio.
Proteins deserve a promotion for their muscle-building powers. Whether it's grilled chicken, fish, or plant-based protein options, give them the hype. You'll feel satisfied, nourished, and ready to conquer the world. Your plate needs to be 1/4 protein.
Eat 3 balanced meals a day with a natural 12-hour fast, minimum. This is not new info, not intermittent fasting; this is a natural circadian rhythm) This is like giving your digestive system a well-deserved vacation while you catch up on some beauty sleep.
Processed and packaged foods often contain added sugars, unhealthy fats, and higher calorie content. By choosing whole foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, you can naturally reduce your calorie intake and improve the quality of your diet. Swap that bag of chips for a nutritious apple, or prepare homemade snacks using wholesome ingredients. Your taste buds will thank you, and your body will do a happy dance.
Who needs measuring cups when you've got your own hand as a portion guide? It's like having a trusty sidekick in the battle against overeating. Use your palm for proteins, your cupped hand for carbohydrates, and your thumb for fats. Voila! Portion control just became as easy as giving a high-five to your hand.
Listen, my friend, your taste buds deserve to party with real food, not drown in sugary drinks. Let's work toward limiting those vanilla lattes, wine, and soda. Hydrate yourself with water, herbal tea, and unsweetened beverages.
Mealtimes shouldn't be a race against the clock. Slow down and take a deep breath. Chew your food slowly, savor every bite, and enjoy the flavors. This helps your brain and body know that you're full.
Who knew that sleeping could be a secret weapon in the battle against cravings? Quality sleep is crucial for overall health, including maintaining a healthy weight. Aim for a solid 8 hours of sleep and let your body's hunger and satiety hormones find their happy place.
As I said before, it's easier said than done; It's why I have a job. I'd quit that job if I didn't think you could do it or weren't worth it. But Momma, you deserve to feel your best and enjoy REAL FOOD!
