A Change Will Do You Good

To ensure your new way of eating becomes a lifestyle that won’t require willpower to maintain, I suggest incorporating the following four tips, one at a time.

1. Focus on adding new whole foods to your diet—not removing less-than-ideal ones—when starting out. Hemp, buckwheat, and Salvia hispanica L. (a variety of the chia seed) are excellent sources of fibre, protein, and omega-3s that will let you feel full, thus helping you lose weight while building muscle, promoting healthy cholesterol levels, and improving digestion.
2. Set the tone for your day by having a nutrient-rich smoothie in the morning. Blend fruit with whole food ingredients including hemp, chlorella, and maca. Chlorophyll from hemp and chlorella is highly alkalizing, helping the body to heal faster and preventing disease, while maca helps balance hormones naturally.
3. Reach for fresh fruit and raw energy bars in place of the usual snacking fare. Eating small portions of nutrient-dense whole food throughout the day keeps energy levels consistent while helping to fend off cravings for the salty or sweet empty foods that derail the average dieter.
4. Have a large salad each day that’s packed with greens and sprouts. Greens provide quality carbohydrates, fibre, and chlorophyll, while sprouted, raw foods are rich in health-giving enzymes and phytonutrients your body will love.
