I told you a few days ago that to get out of compulsive overeating, the first condition is to stop dieting. But I know what you’re thinking now. "If I don’t diet, what do I eat?" You feel panicked. Benchmarks disappear. No more guardrails. "I cannot, if I don’t diet, I’ll eat everything in sight”.
You won’t eat everything in sight if you have good support. To be and feel encouraged at all times is essential.
There is another essential point, it is the quality of your food. The conventional and refined foods are dead. Everything that is in plastic bags, cans, boxes, is dead (click here to read more about this). If you have been eating essentially refined foods, you are undoubtedly lacking essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and so on. Compulsive overeating, among other things, is the cry of the body trying to get the nutrients he is lacking.
It is therefore crucial to move towards organic and natural foods for you to be really nourished. To help you with this change, I am offering you table called "From refined to natural foods: the path made easy" I give at the very beginning of a coaching program. It allows you to quickly see the choices available to you and how to replace refined products with its organic counterpart.
I encourage you to read my article organic v/s conventional to help you understand the importance of organic foods.
No changes to your diet will happen overnight. Please choose each week one new product to introduce to your diet: this week you'll swap your white bread against a whole wheat or multigrain organic bread and next week you choose to spread organic almond butter or organic avocado (yummy!) on your bread in place of butter or your jam.
Gradually, your palate will get used to natural products. Gradually you will discover new flavors. You'll feel a physical satisfaction that you never felt before.
And I promise you a lot of fun!
Love your new blog, congrats!
