I want you to start this year with 2020 vision for what you want your relationship with food and eating to look like.<\/p>\n
Put your best foot forward as you step into this New Decade by improving your food choices and eating habits with these seven (7) tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve said it before, and I\u2019ll say it again! Make sure you are drinking enough water.<\/strong><\/p>\n A common mistake many people make is confusing thirst for hunger.<\/p>\n The adult human body is made up of approximately 60% water. Therefore, if your body is dehydrated, you may feel hungry.<\/p>\n By drinking at least 2 litres of water per day,<\/strong> you will improve your overall health including energy and digestion.<\/p>\n So . . . Have your water bottle filled with water and have it handy wherever you go!<\/p>\n When you become hungry and do not have your food choices and meals planned, you are more likely to select something quick and easy that might not be a healthy choice.<\/p>\n Sit down and plan your meals and snacks in advance to be prepared!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re eating the same old boring food, you will quickly lose interest, and this will lead to you heading to the sweets and treats isles at the shopping centre.<\/p>\n Making healthier choices does not mean making boring choices.<\/p>\n To create exciting and balanced meals add a rainbow of vegetables and fruit to your plate!<\/p>\n Speed of eating matters! The faster you eat, the more food you naturally will \u2018inhale\u2019.<\/p>\n Fast eaters are 115% more likely to be obese compared to slow eaters. They also tend to gain weight over time due to eating too fast.<\/p>\n To help your waistline and reduce the amount of food you may consume, slow your pace down.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”40px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”|700|||||||” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”#89c620″ header_4_font_size=”40px” header_4_line_height=”1.2em” max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_4_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_4_font_size_phone=”25px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”Experience Programs” image=”https:\/\/mindandbodyarchitect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Experience-Programs-IMG.png” image_icon_width=”80px” content_max_width=”100%” image_icon_width_tablet=”80px” image_icon_width_phone=”70px” image_icon_width_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”23px” header_line_height=”1.2em” background_color=”#5d20c6″ max_width=”340px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”40px|30px|40px|30px|true|true” link_option_url=”\/work-with-me\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” header_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_font_size_phone=”20px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_radii=”on|30px|30px|30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”VIP Coaching Experience” image=”https:\/\/mindandbodyarchitect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/VIP-Coaching-Experience-IMG.png” image_icon_width=”80px” content_max_width=”100%” image_icon_width_tablet=”80px” image_icon_width_phone=”70px” image_icon_width_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”23px” header_line_height=”1.2em” background_color=”#89c620″ max_width=”340px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”40px|30px|40px|30px|true|true” link_option_url=”\/rescueyourrelationshipwithfood\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” header_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_font_size_phone=”20px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_radii=”on|30px|30px|30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=”30px” ol_item_indent=”30px” admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ ul_font_size=”17px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” ol_font_size=”17px” ol_line_height=”1.7em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n If you are like many people, you many have never noticed how many times you chew or the texture of the food before you swallow.

<\/a>\n\nAlong your journey of changing habits and behaviours, if you miss a day here or there, ensure you do not criticise yourself. It\u2019s okay!\n\nBe kind to yourself and try not to berate yourself or your efforts.\n\nYou are doing the best you can.\n\nInstead of giving up, you pick yourself up straight away, or the next day and start again. Remember, some progress is better than no progress.\n\nTip #2 - Small Habits Become Big Change<\/strong>\n\nWhen you make small consistent changes, they become habits.\n\nSome of these things may be:\n\n \t
\n\nWhen you start a process of change, it is easy to become really focused on the outcome, rather than the process of change.\n\nThis is especially true for people who set goals which are performance based, such as \u2018I want to lose 5kgs\u2019.\n\nRather than focusing on how you will be after the change, i.e. \u20185 kgs less\u2019,\u00a0 focus on the process of healthy change. This is in fact much more valuable!\n\nRemember, creating and changing small habits leads into big changes over time . . .\n\nConsistent action, no matter how small or large, will ultimately transform your life.\n\nMaintain consistency and create new habits for life!\n\nImproving your relationship with food is made easier when you have a safe, respectful, positive and healthy support system. <\/strong>\n\nThe Reset Your Mindset: Online Community<\/em> provides you with a deep connection to people who are sharing a similar experience.
