how to get your eating back on track

For those of us living in the Northern hemisphere, spring is here and it is time for renewal.

Do you feel like you have gotten off track with your eating over the winter? Studies show that over 50% of us overeat when we are stressed. Pandemic stress anyone? It’s still happening, and we have so many other stressors as well. The world is in a challenging moment.

Despite the struggle, we have a choice. To get your eating back on track, start by simplifying.

TIPS TO GET BACK ON TRACK

Finish up the the packaged and processed food in your cupboards and pantry.

Then, make a shopping list that includes whole foods:

• Vegetables

• Berries

• Meat (if you eat it)

• Eggs

• Beans and lentils

• Whole grains: rice, millet, sorghum, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat

• SMASH fish: sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon and herring

• Healthy fats: avocado, olive oil, avocado oil, nuts and seeds

Get the sugar out!

This is the most important piece of simplifying. Skip the tropical fruits, chocolate and baked goods for now. Although the ideal for getting your eating back on track is to eat simply for 21 days, even 7 days of eating this way will make a big difference.
