Want to improve your diet?

Where to start?  Change to wholegrains - eat multi-grain bread, brown rice, wholemeal pasta, nutritious high fibre multi grains cereals.

Why? Attaching Fibre to your carbohydrate choices means it takes longer for your body to break it down so your blood sugar levels remain more constant.

That's what you are aiming for -  constant blood sugar levels rather than fluatation levels that peak high and bottom out low - this is what cravings are all about - this is what causes that running out of energy feeling.

Eating processed white "foods" - simple carbohydrates - these products  are broken down quickly into simple sugars - so your blood sugar levels elevate quickly, peak and drop - umm feel hunger again?  Or you begin to crave for something sweet?  Or you could just go a small snack or treat?

So make better choices - choice wholegrains - add fibre to your daily food supply- grains & seeds - Fibre also ensures the digestive and bowel tract keeps moving - no stagnate wastes building up as toxins in your body.

Never entertain the thought of  cutting carbs from your daily food supply BECAUSE your brain needs carbohydrates to function!!

Each time you eat - ask yourself - Is this the most nutritious food I could be eating right now?

There is no big secret to successful daily eating - we all know the Food Pyramid - eat a wide variety of whole foods each day so your body obtains all the nutrients, minerals and vitamins it needs to function  and to function well.  Love yourself, Love your body.
