Happy new you! Are you making a vow of self-improvement?  If so, this year we want you to gain a new sense of peace with food!

Check out my interview with the Winnipeg Free Press about how we want you to approach your health this year.

Some of my quotes from the article are:

  • One of the first thing Watson gets new clients to do is start a “food and mood” journal — simply a record of what they eat — so they become aware of their choices and what they eat regularly.
  • “A lot of time some people reflect back on a food journal and don’t realize that they’re having five cans of pop a week,” she says.
  • Keeping such a log can help people determine what they can cut down or swap out for a healthier choice, and get them more attuned to the satisfaction of eating healthier foods.
  • Another key to healthier eating is meal prepping — cooking and freezing healthy meals in advance — so that when life gets hectic, one isn’t reliant on restaurant meals or convenience foods.
  • “We want to get (clients) back in the kitchen, eating whole foods first,” Watson says.
  • Watson teaches clients to be permissive — rather than restrictive — with their food choices. When people start designating their food choices as “good” or “bad” or completely banish them from their diets, it actually makes those foods more tempting, she says. “Eating shouldn’t be a moral decision,” she says, calling many people’s relationships with food “distorted.”

What if, instead of promising to go on a diet this year, your resolution is to go on a non-diet? The non-diet approach of intuitive eating has 10 principles to help people stop limiting and obsessing about their food. Intuitive eating isn’t really a plan, nor is it a diet. Instead, it is a way of approaching food that is simple and uncomplicated.
