Whole Food Dieting - How to Have Lasting Success
By Celia Westberry
The
key to lasting success with whole food dieting is to develop personal trust
about having the ability to make a permanent change. Then you must seek to
understand the dynamics of how you change and what leads to personal
success. Can you clearly imagine seeing yourself having an explorative
adventure with food? Forget about results in 30 days. Can you imagine a
sleek healthy slender body for the rest of your life, and you experiencing
the best health as you age?
To get to this point, you might have to think about new menus with exciting
new foods to make you and your grateful body feel special. But can you
suspend your present eating habits in order to give this idea a permanent
place in your life? For instance, everyone thinks of spinach as a diet
food.... However, I served calllaloo, a Caribbean soup made with spinach and
ochre to my dinner guest last week. Of course, I added herbs like rosemary
and thyme to boost flavor. I also served it with crab cakes made with claw
crab meat; and one of my grateful guests sent me a note thanking me for the
exciting gastronomic experience. This is the kind of gratitude your body
will feel just because you decided to make a whole food dieting change.
Be cautious of recipes that have you preparing your whole food diet with
ingredients that are known to be detrimental to your health, like excessive
saturated fat and sugar. Do read recipes and look at TV shows like 'Napa
Style' or 'Reservations Required' to cement your appreciation for fresh
whole food. This will lift your spirit and help you see the possibilities of
control of your own destiny, delight and direction where food is
concerned.
Think in terms of doing something extraordinary for your body, like boosting
your immune system. Then go out and develop a snacking habit with nuts with
names like Brazilian and seeds like flax and pumpkin that have properties
that will make you declare the extinction of your fear of cancer. Then your
race for the cure will be to your favorite whole food store. This can
take you clear out of the path of developing cancer or any other immune
dysfunction that happens as you age. You will also be supporting your quest
for whole food dieting.
Take a whole food dieting cooking class and get over your fear of preparing
dishes with fresh food. Avoid looking at TV shows that show competition with
food or shows where the cooks are anxious or upset about the outcome of
their actions. This just helps to seal in your mind that there is something
difficult and daunting about adding ingredients to a pot and allowing the
heat do its thing.
It also sets you in competition with your body instead of having concern and
compassion for the overall experience of your new approach to your whole
food dieting life.
With these simple approaches you will have more wisdom, (the wise use of
knowledge), and less dilemma about making positive whole food dieting a way
of life for you.
