✨ Food Pairing for Both Nourishment & Enjoyment ✨
One of the biggest game changers for appetite regulation isn’t restriction its pairing.
When you combine nutrient dense foods (think protein, fibre, healthy fats, vitamins & minerals) with more flexible or fun foods (your favorite bread, chocolate, cheese, etc.), you get the best of both worlds:
🍽️ Balanced satiety : protein & fibre help regulate hunger cues.
🍫 Satisfaction : allowing enjoyable foods prevents the “all or nothing” cycle.
🌱 Sustainability: meals feel nourishing and enjoyable, making them easier to stick with long term.
Example 👉 A colourful salad with grilled chicken + a slice of garlic bread. You’re getting nutrients, staying full, and still enjoying the foods you love.
Example 💪🏼 a waffle with 2 serves of fruit + high protein pudding. Getting in protein, fibre, antioxidants and the enjoyment of a waffle
Restrictive eating might work for a while, but flexibility is what makes healthy eating last. ❤️
