Eating Healthy Fats

More fat...on my last session with Shonda Holt, Functional Nutrition Practitioner (Nourishing Yourself) made the suggestion to add more healthy fats to my diet. After a lifetime of avoiding fat (bad fat) my head said “What...????” But my heart knew she was right. There is so much research now about the importance of healthy fats in a diet.

What is a Fat Bomb, you ask? Well it is a delicious way to add fat into your diet.

I am down 8 lbs, it is a slow process, which would normally be frustrating. But I am not doing this as a short term program. I didn’t put this weight on overnight, so it will not go away overnight either. Plus I am working on digestion issues as well, which seem to have settled down, now that I have removed things from my diet.

So, you could be asking, is this a hard program to follow? I would answer yes and no. It is all about choices, how do I want to feel? I treat myself once in awhile, but when I have the treat, I usually feel crappy, so I am not as anxious to do it again. It is about getting real with yourself. Asking yourself the question, "if I keep doing what I am doing, will I get the same results"? Yes. that is also called insanity...

When I go out, I check out the menu online before I go or I ask if we could go to a restaurant that may be a better choice. Sorry Italian restaurants...I am not eating pasta. Cauliflower is my new pasta, tastes so great with a homemade tomato sauce.

Breakfast have definitely changed. No more eggs, toast and bacon. I eat before we go, then have a fruit cup when I get there and a cup of tea. I am there for the company, not the food. I hardly miss the traditional breakfast, mostly because my tummy feels bad after.

I do a fair amount of networking or social events, and find wine is usually involved. If I do choose to have a glass, I have one only, then switch to sparkling water. My body actually enjoys the sparkling water more most times. As long as a have a glass in your hand, I feel like I am participating and no one notices.
There are a couple of things I am working at achieving. One is spending at least 15 minutes everyday meditating and eating lunch.

The gift of lunch

Not eating a regular lunch has become a bad habit. But when I stop and give myself the gift of lunch, I feel like I am giving myself something special. I know it may sound weird to you. But those that are work at home people, may understand. There are no people here saying “lunch time” . The day flies by and before I know it, it is dinner.
