home of water bottle Wednesday and vegetable month

If you feel like you don't drink enough non-sugary fluids, it makes more sense to try drinking more tea and sparkling water than it does to just avoid soda. You gotta add in the good (and remember, that the only value food has is how it makes YOU feel. Food is morally nuetral and should be enjoyed.)

Try:

Adding a handful of easy produce to lunch and dinner- baby carrots or cherry tomatoes, something 0 prep. And yes, you are allowed to dip it in dressing! (The fats can make it easier for your body to absorb the vitamins in the veggies)

Adding a cheese stick or yogurt to breakfast. The protein is good and can help you wake up faster.

Adding some roasted nuts to your afternoon snack. (ADD, not replace.) That variety and little protein boost will do you good!

Have a glass of tea, sparkling water, or juice each time you have food. Let's be honest- you aren't hydrated enough. Go buy yourself some Kool Aide mix if that'll make you drink more water! Really!

If you struggle with binge eating sugary foods and it makes you feel yuck when the sugar crash comes- eat 1 or 2 pieces of chocolate with lunch and dinner. Every day. Really. Make it not a big deal. Make it not special. Make it something you can expect, instead of crave. Let yourself enjoy it without guilt.

One of the big dangers of unhealthy diets, and of dieting to loose weight, is malnutrition. If your body has enough of everything it needs, it becomes a lot better at being selective about what else it absorbs. And while being overweight/obese can have negative effects on your health, being malnourished, not having enough of an essential nutrient, is much more dangerous.

And just to be clear (not saying you are guilty of this, but since weight was mentioned)- none of this advice is aimed at losing weight. It's all about eating food that makes us feel good and feeling good about food. Food is a gift and a source of joy.

I feel better if I eat a few cherry tomatoes and carrots with dressing with my microwave Mac n cheese at lunch. I feel better if I drink a whole glass of iced green tea or pink lemonade while I watch anime. I feel better if I have a cheese stick AND pop tarts for breakfast.

If I feel better, I'm more likely to go do stuff outside or work on my book or try a new craft/art vs sit and scroll social media.

And that's my goal. And yeah, those things might help some people lose weight. It might help some people gain weight. Trusting your body and intentionally curating a varied diet full of foods that make you feel good should, regardless of what the scale says, make you feel better.

I see u all with ur beautiful sparkling bottles. I see u
