Well, there is a topic for us. A timely one for me as I am dealing with an increase in my cholesterol levels. My brain says: what does it all mean? There is tons of information out there on healthy fats. I am grateful that I have access to scientific information in my WW app. I am learning about unsaturated fats, saturated fats and trans-fats. How Unsaturated are the better for us and limiting saturated fats is important. Finally, trans-fats are not helpful for our bodies, and I can work to eliminate them.
When I zoom out what I am really learning is to put my curiosity to work and inform myself. To explore what I have in my space and finally to read those labels.
When I zoom in, I see healthy choices, not so healthy choices and then not, not so healthy choices. Kind of like life. It is full of choices. Some we make are optimum for us while others not so much. Then others... really, are not, not so much.
This concept of healthy, not so healthy and not not healthy applies to all four pillars of my WW journey. Sleep, Mindset, Activity and Food.
When it comes to food my question is: What does it all mean? There is tons of information out there to sift through. So many concepts. Yet here I am doing just that and finding enjoyment in the process. I think the joy is enhanced from my choice to purchase that Chef hat!
One of the great things about WW is their introduction of macros and nutrients and the information that is there when I tap on it. The app now gives data on the protein I consume as well as carbs, fats, fibre and sodium. There is so much great information at my fingertips. Allows me to tap into my curiosity, become aware and make better for me choices.
I am on a journey of embracing my choices and the filter of healthy, not so healthy and not not so healthy can shape the way I choose differently. What about you? Is this a fit, does it pique your curiosity?
Love reading your blogs Noreen! Such great advice and a reminder to do our research, especially on scientific facts to help us stay healthy! Great job!!
Noreen I always appreciate a warm and non-judgemental reminder about making choices. You have definitely done that very well💖
This is great information. Making it a habit to read labels and understand what we are putting into our bodies. There are so many food out there that are making society sick. Great job loving yourself and making shifts in your life that “really count.” XO
Always appreciate the stories you share so willingly. You look so happy in your chefie hat.❤️
Way to go, Noreen! I am also paying close attention to what I put into me and how it reacts. Very important topic to me. Thank you! Love the chef's hat!,
