Hi
Sometimes the simplest 'rules' or methods are a great template to work off.
I'm often asked what the best nutrition plan or diet to follow and often get a response of 'is that
it?!' When I give the following answer:
JUST
EAT
REAL
FOOD
Follow the JERF way ;-)
No branding, no 'just discovered' methods, no research needed as such.
Real, whole food is food that is that has had nothing or nothing done to it....that which has had ONLY two or less steps of processing i.e. Carrot from ground, put in a bag or milk from a cow,
churned to make butter.
There is however an important piece of work you need to do and that it educating yourself on what is real food and what is best for us..this is where the Nutritionist or Dietician comes in.
Things in packets with a long list of ingredients are manufactured to varying degrees. The more away from their natural sources the less it's possible our body recognises the components as
nutritious.
We all love a little bit of these things as they are often delicious. Enjoy them for what they are yet try not to rely on them to fuel you properly.
REAL/Whole food satietes you properly with what your body needs. Proper responses occur in your body and it releases satiety hormones to stop you feeling hungry as your body recognises it had what it needs.
It's intuitive
eating.
Manufactured foods often don't provide these signals, in fact it seems they are often they are designed this way so we eat more.
Life is about living so it's OK for a bit of the stuff you like to sneak in, just try to reduce to 5% of your weekly intake and the rest...JERF!

Kim and I are thinking about putting a series of extra
emails together containing actionable and useful ideas like the one above to send out weekly from the new year (6-8 weeks to start with).
The foundation basics that work, that's it!
There will be a nominal fee just to cover our hours needed to produce these.
Each email will also have a small mission for you to do and report back on how it went, this way we can then share out the following week...help us to help you help
others!

Hit reply and write 'I'm interested' we will send more detail as we get it so you can decide...
