10 Reasons why Healthy Eating Gives you so Much MORE than Weight Loss
I use the term healthy eating and not dieting with a distinct purpose. Dieting is normally associated with willpower, restricting foods that you ultimately crave and a roller-coaster of weight loss – weight goes on, weight comes off and repeat in a frustrating cycle. Healthy eating to me is different, it’s about gradual adaptations to your diet that result in slow weight loss (typically 1-2lbs a week) but that’s sustainable, it becomes your lifestyle.
Healthy eating is about so much more than weight loss, yes you lose weight but what you gain in the process is ten fold, I’ve experienced this personally but also had this supported by many people who I have worked with.
Being healthy doesn’t mean depriving yourself of all the food you love, it means switching it up a little. It means eating real food as nature intended because that’s what was meant to power our bodies. You can still eat a piece of chocolate, cheesecake, crisps or even sweetened beverages it’s just knowing how to use real food to provide healthier substitutes, keep an eye on my recipes! It might mean you have to cook a little but I happen to think the payoff is worth the investment of your time.
This is why I am so passionate about food… it is about so much more than just maintaining a healthy weight (although important too!). Feeling healthy and happy literally sneaks in to infiltrate every part of your life – at work, family life and in all your relationships. Life is far from perfect but you will be so much better equipped to handle what life throws at you if you eat healthily.
