TAKE THIS QUICK QUIZ: Which one of these statements is a behavior? 👇


① 2022 GOAL: "Eat healthier."


② PLAN: Make veggies a base for a meal in a 75/25 ratio - 75% plants, 25% protein [animal or plant]


③ EXECUTE: Prepare three salads this week to enjoy as a base for simple proteins


If you answered ③, you are correct 👏 ! Why is the answer to this question the most important you will consider this upcoming year? Because focusing on anything but behavior rarely produces change that sticks. Statements ① and ② are important pieces of the puzzle, but simply committing to these statements doesn't drive behaviors that will support you in meeting your ultimate goal.


Work with a credentialed healthcare professional experienced with health behavior change to assess your goals and create a plan that optimizes success with meeting your health goals. For me, part of the plan always includes getting in the kitchen - it's hard to meet and sustain any health goal without some level of cooking competency.


So:

👉 swipe past the eliminations, cleanses, diet trends

👉 stop counting calories

👉 save money

👉 get in the kitchen

👉 finally, be free of the restriction mindset that leads to failure and shame - yuk!

In the last decade research has found a stronger and stronger connection between our gut and our brain. Hormones like serotonin (which is linked with depression) are actually produced in the gut, thus impacting how we feel.

Focusing on our gut health is an instrumental part of mental health and well being. Each week we will be giving you more information as to how you can keep your gut healthy. For more information contact our Dietician Ezette, who can assist you with more individualised plans.
