Our expert Gina has shared some great tips around food, here is her post from August, still relevant now we're in Autumn!

Dietary Tips: Eat Mindfully 🧠

In the Final Part of this short series covering the Three Habit Challenge, from Fairbairn's resident dietitian Gina Giebner , we look at how to get into the habit of Eating Mindfully.

When we set out to improve our diet, we can often put all of our attention towatds the Calories, macronutrients, weighing and tracking in our food, etc. We often forget to look inward at our relationship with food.

Below is Gina's easy to follow advice on how to get into the habit of Eating Mindfully in just six weeks.

Dietary Tips: The Three Habit Challenge 🥩

On Monday we looked at the first of our Three Habits to follow, as recommended by our resident dietitian Gina Giebner

Today we'll be examining the second habit to follow: Prioritise Protein!

Most of us consume enough protein, but for some these needs increase for muscle gain, recovery, and optimal health. Additionally, a lot of this protein is sourced from fatty meats and unprocessed snack foods. We aim not only to optimise your protein intake but also the quality of it!

On Saturday we'll be posting the final habit of the Three Habit Challenge: Eat Mindfully.

Keep an eye out for our future posts and dietary tips!
