✨You don’t have to deprive yourself. You don’t have to cut out food groups completely just because the latest trend says that’s the hot thing to do.It all comes down to understanding how certain foods make YOU feel and perform. Some foods may make you feel lethargic and bloated, while they make your bestie feel great.It doesn’t mean that food is “bad,” it just means that it doesn’t fuel YOU as well as some other foods do. ✌️Here are two strategies that you can use when learning how to eat mindfully, but also never feel deprived:1️⃣Focusing on How Foods Make You FeelPart of learning to be mindful about food choices and also honor your preferences is learning to FEEL the difference in how foods fuel you.✔️You can make swaps to similar foods that make you feel awesome if certain foods don’t agree with you.2️⃣Focusing On Making a Mindful Food ChoiceYou can also use this strategy if you are craving a certain type of food, but are also wanting something nutritious. Let’s say, you want a milkshake. Sometimes… Have the milkshake (because: lifestyle)! Sometimes, you can swap a protein shake instead. It will still taste awesome, but you’ll also hit the goal of getting in some great nutrients.💛You always have permission to eat any food. Living in that freedom allows you to relax a bit and learn how to feel the difference in how foods make you feel and then make gentle adjustments to be mindful of nutrients.
