Weariing 'nutrition glasses'

When you get that mid afternoon hunger pang - what do you choose?

What if you haven't brought your fruit with you to munch on?

If you have been in this situation then it may be worthwhile using your 'nutrition glasses'.

What I mean by this is, instead of picking up the first thing that comes to hand because it will do, look at it as if you were wearing a special pair of glasses. These glasses would shade the item based on how good it is for you. If it is really good for you then you might see it as being green (the colour of Wheatgrass!), and if it is bad for you then it might appear red.

By making a decision to only eat the good foods (or green appearing foods) then this can aid your health and overall diet.

Give it a go and see if your choosing of foods improves.

Tinier portions

Some of the more recent entries in this blog have been about the use of smaller steps to achieve our objectives, but this week after talking to some friends I realise that big to one person is small to another.

When we talk about talking smaller steps it is sometimes the most ridiculously small looking steps that would take us to where we want to be.

One of the best examples I can think of is the apple. Pure and simple - we all know the saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. When discussing this I found people saying things like 'yeah - but I see an apple and think how long it will take to eat, so I don't bother'.

If you find this approach is the same as the one you take then try making the portion even smaller. Cutting an apple or two up before going to work and taking it with you in an airtight container gives you something nutritious to nibble at. Lo and behold, at the end of the day we suddenly have eaten two of our five a day portions! Magic!
