Stop Obsessing

 

Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food, states “The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become.” What if we replaced all of the counting and calculating with thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, improve our health, and bring pleasure back to eating? This week we challenge you to put down the food journal and step away from the calorie calculator. We aren’t suggesting you stop focusing on healthy food choices, but rather that you practice making healthy choices in a manner that is sustainable. In the following weeks we will share practical tips for creating a healthy and happy approach to eating, small changes you can make to slowly transform your approach to health in a way you can maintain. And so we start with the simple idea of Stop Obsessing. Let go of the need to count it all, and focus on finding the Joy of Eating once again.
