‘I feel less cloudy’

Thanks for a really interesting and powerful talk a couple of weeks ago. While I always had a concept of what is ‘healthy’, learning the actual amount of what we need to eat (fruit, veg, protein etc) was really beneficial. Since your seminar we’ve aimed to implement your plan of how much we should be eating and when, how much protein we should be eating and when, and making breakfast our largest meal of the day (and dinner the smallest).
Even these simple changes have had a huge impact on how I’m feeling. I feel like I have more energy, and I feel less ‘cloudy’ I suppose, it’s hard to describe. Our running training has been noticeably easier, and in only a week I’ve lost a kilo without trying.
We had a long weekend in Sydney recently which involved a lot of eating out and a birthday party, and we didn’t get nearly enough veg in, had too much booze and I’ve been feeling sluggish ever since. So I’ve been reminded how I used to feel most of the time.
I found that thinking about what I need to eat, rather than what I need to avoid has been good too. It’s not a mental state of deprivation, it’s one of abundance, and it’s great to be excited about wanting to eat what is going to make me feel energised and good.
To put things in perspective – I am very much a devotee of hot chips and a glass (or three) of wine, so I’m not by any means a health extremist. But now I just don’t want to eat all that other stuff – it’s weird, in all the years I’ve spent reading about nutrition and weight loss, I’ve never felt so compelled so easily to follow something. Not only do I carry in my head ‘live food and dead food’ all the time now, I am very much reminded of why we should be eating this way, and have tangible results that tell me my body is happier for it.
