I woke up this morning with a far clearer idea of why I went off course yesterday and ate more than I required while not hungry (emotional eating).

1/ I have been skimping on sleep again.

2/ These small seaside ports, are not good for healthy food shopping. The selection f fresh food was meager and expensive, I went in to the store to purchase a trolley full f fruit and vegetables and i bought an apple, a pear, onions and peanut butter, I eyed the rotting grapes and bananas as and limp vegetables and left them, there in the store.  I have already planned tonight’s meal; it will be chicken onion and corn (using my frozen supplies) soup.

Solution.

1/Bulking high fiber and fluid food satisfies the stomach.
2/Delicious food satisfies the mind.  I plan a rolled oats, (not the instant kind), low fat unsweetened yogurt and fruit  breakfast, a healthy large salad for my lunch and low fat, soup for my evening meal today. is good, as the hot liquid allows you to feel full and emotionally satisfied. J.  I know I need to find a larger town soon where I can get fresh quality produce again.

3/ Good nutrition satisfies the body.  I found this definition of the way I like to eat, this morning.  I would love to see catalog printing of this information about good nutrition and wider distribution of the knowledge as in this age of knowledge the obesity epidemic proves that people in general have become unaware of the basics of how good nutrition benefits their health and helps manage their weight. 

It isn't that the information is not out there, it is just drowned out by the advertisements  for fried foods and refined carbohydrates, on one hand and the diet industries sales of pills, surgery or substances on the other and the message of moderation and nutrition has a struggle to be heard because there is less financial reward for pushing the message.

The healthy diet is the bst way to reduce food cravings, not waking up in the morning and ordering yourself to restrain your desire to eat when you desire to. I am planning my meals ahead of time today, no grabbing at something fast, because I am hungry, I will have a nutrition plan in place I will follow and it will be so delicious I will want to follow it and I will feel very emotionally satisfied and not be looking to overeat to find that feeling of satisfaction, today.

Wider distribution of good nutrition information rather than silly diets would assist so many people. The distribution somehow needs to go wider and be louder than the countering effect of the advertisers.   

I know that when I begin cutting back on my fresh fruits and vegetables, I begin looking at and eating, higher calorie foods, like I did last night, as I desire some bulk in my diet and that is when my overeating monster kicks in. 

So once again, I am telling myself and anyone else listening, it is not about, dieting, or self-deprivation, the art of natural slimming it is about healthy eating, choosing delicious, nutritious food.  
For me, this week, it looks like some imaginative use of the few fresh supplies I could buy here, in Eden , with the best selection I have available in my small caravan freezer and pantry until I can find a good fresh fruit and vegetable store.

 

The fundamentals of nutrition, as viewed by Dr. Fuhrman.

One-way he tries to describe his approach is through the use, of the word "Nutritarian." He coined this term and the basic idea is that the right foods can have very positive effects and that not all food, is created, equally.

 

What is very interesting is that elements of this approach are now part of the new Weight Watchers SET Points system. This is all very new and we are just learning the details. But it is fueling a certain level of enthusiasm for what WW is now doing among PT members.   

What Is A Nutritarian?

 

A nutritarian understands that food has powerful disease-protecting and therapeutic effects and seeks to consume a broad array of micronutrients via their food choices. It is not sufficient to merely avoid fats, consume foods with a low glycemic index and low in animal products, nor eat a diet of mostly raw foods. A truly healthy diet must be micronutrient rich and the micronutrient richness must be adjusted to meet individual needs. The foods with the highest micronutrient per calorie scores are green vegetables, colorful vegetables, and fresh fruits. For optimal health and to combat disease, it is necessary to consume enough of these foods.

This is a big read but it is really important. This is what is at the cutting edge of the diet industry right now and you are going to see all the other players in the space move in this direction.

    _Happy New year :-)
    I am going to combine several seemingly contradicting eating and exercise programs and put together my own Artslim Naturally slimming and Gray-Nomad fitness program.  I plan to bring these out as a low cost EBook and small paperback. They will suit anyone interested in managing weight with son=me difficult health conditions such as metabolic syndrome and past injuries.

     I'll be showing you some of the books I am reading that have some excellent qualities, although they will not be exactly what I am putting together to suit me and my style of doing things.
    I will be focusing on eating and exercising for wellness, weight loss if obese, weight management and balanced fulfilling lifestyle..
