Redefining Nutrition: More Than Macros ~ More than Food
Nutrition is often related to having to go on a “diet” and eliminate all the foods we love, obsessing over hitting our macros and counting calories, and this restrictive component of our health thats strips away our happiness around the enjoyment of food and eating. There’s more fear and confusion around nutrition and food these days than ever before. But it doesn’t have to be like this. Nutrition is actually quite simple. We just tend to over complicate it and then look to the media for answers only to be left more confused and in fear about eating certain foods and whether we are eating the “perfect diet” or if what we are eating is approved by people that we don’t know and often unconsciously give our attention and power away to.
I don’t have all the answers but what I do believe is that
Nutrition is nourishment for the mind, body & spirit
its more than “hitting our macros”
it’s more than just the foods we eat
it’s more than a meal-plan
its whole and necessary
its holistic & sweet
its
Soil
Cost
Love
Taste
Social
Health
Quality
Mindful
Cultural
Farming
Spiritual
Genetics
Financial
Seasonal
Enjoyable
Emotional
Nourishing
Traditional
Pleasurable
Appearance
Convenience
Supplementation
Food choice values
Digestion and absorption
How we eat and why we eat
Unique to you and a whole treat
maybe its not about the best diet that everyone should be on
diets die out
but nourishment
and prioritizing a healthy life
never goes out of style
“my diets better that your diet”
maybe its a combination of all “diets”
maybe its tuning into your body
nothing to be afraid of
just aware of
learning the best “diet” for you
aside from what the media tells you
trust yourself
you know whats true
eat real food
not too much
not too little
Nutrition is more than just the foods we eat
its what works 4 you
its personalized
its connection
its essential
its presence
its balance
its intuitive
its healing
its holistic
its true.
Happy March :)
in love & wellness,
