#199: 5 Things We'd Do Immediately If You Wanted to Improve Your Health While Eating Bagels and Pasta
Manage episode 502552312 series 3291917
I used to think that in order to be healthy I had to avoid things like carbs, and fat...and basically anything that tasted good. Even as a dietitian, I got sucked into thinking of food as good/bad, and I approached my eating with restriction being my strategy for health.
It wasn't until I flipped things around and started practicing "nutrition by addition" and embracing ALL foods as part of 1) listening to my body, and 2) overall balanced eating, that I saw how it's totally possible to get healthier while eating bagels, pasta, ice cream, and Oreos.
That's because the all-or-none mindset with food actually backfires. It either leads to restriction, deprivation, and a life of rigid rule following...or it leads to being off the rails bingeing on food.
In this episode, we’re going to cover 5 things we'd change immediately if you came to me and wanted to eat bagels while watching your labs improve, your digestion feel better, and your blood sugar stabilize.
When you do all of these things consistently, enjoying bagels and pasta while simultaneously watching your health improve doesn't just become possible...it becomes your reality.
If you're ready for this to happen, hit play and let’s go!
Episode Highlights
1️⃣ The #1 daily behavior I would tell you to STOP doing immediately. (Besides dieting…obviously we’re not doing that anymore around here, right?)
2️⃣ The first thing that you should do each morning that will improve your health and get both your metabolism and digestion working properly.
3️⃣ My mix-and-match strategy for pairing food together to allow you to eat the foods you enjoy, while balancing your blood sugar and honoring your health. (aka my “Have Your Cake and Eat It Too” method!)
