Small Choices. Big ChangesIn your lifetime some books come which shift your thought process and make you act vs. just passively read the book and enjoy it.
For me there are a few books which have given me AHA! moments and have been a lifeline to living not just existing ( eg.Bhagvad Gita) and strangely enough this rather inconspicuous book "Eat.Move.Sleep"...mostly picked up because I loved Tom Rath's first book "Strength Finder 2.0" which I had read way back in 2010.
This is more than just a book, it is a new way to live. I have had friends look at me weird when I talk about Vitamin D and Vitamin B12, flinch when I talk about the 30 grams fiber that a woman needs, eyes glaze over when I mention Chia Seeds, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Kale, Quinoa, Amaranth, Maca Powder...I am not a person who goes with Fads...however I am mindfully making the choice to live a healthy life.
Eat.Move. Sleep is motivating to me because (A) the changes being proposed are not radical (B) there is a 30 Day game plan that I can come up with based on a comprehensive questionnaire I take on the site (C) The onus to be accountable is on me
Day 1:
1. Identify the three healthiest elements of diets you have tried in the past. Integrate these elements into your lifestyle for good.
1. Identify the three healthiest elements of diets you have tried in the past. Integrate these elements into your lifestyle for good.
- Removed "Whites" from my diet - moved to Brown Rice, Quinoa and Barley as my main carbohydrate source
- Added a Kale Smoothie (with Chia Seeds and alternative milk) to my diet
- Start my morning with hot water, ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) and Honey
2. Starting today, with every bite you take, consider how it can benefit your body. Use what you have learned in the book to make better choices in the moment.
