Hello, Lovelies!
My focus is on “living well,” and, for me, that changes often and is so different for everyone.
But I do have a general food philosophy that I tend to believe in across the board, so I figured I’d share it here for all of you. Here it is:
- Food should make you feel good. Not just good in the moment, like a sugar rush, but a sustainable good. You know, bright energy, stable moods, happy digestion. The best foods for you should support your feeling your best. Even if someone else says a specific food makes them feel great, it may not work so well for you so doing a personal test is the best way to know.
- Food can elevate your life or pollute your life. Only you can know for sure which foods do which.
- Experiment often. Try different ways of eating. See what feels good. Cut out the foods you think might be making you feel bad. Add them back in. Notice. Stay curious about it.
- Eat real, whole foods. The closer to nature, the better. Can you picture where your food came from? If it does have a list of ingredients, can you picture what those ingredients look like in nature?
So that’s a little start — I don’t subscribe to a specific “diet,” but I’ve tried many ways of eating, (right now I’m gluten-free.) In general, focus on adding in more real, fresh, whole, colorful foods — instead of packaged foods with artificial colors and ingredients that will zap your energy and mood and cause inflammation in the body.
More specifics to come on this topic very soon. Please send me an email at kimberley@mysoberkitchen if you have a specific food question you want me to cover!
Bon appetit!
