Seven Guidelines to Break the Fast Food Cycle

Gabrielle Reece provides us with these 7 tips to help break the fast food cycle:

1. Don’t let junk food become meals — they should be strictly snacks and treats.
2. Put only living food on your plate for your meals, such as fresh fruits and veggies (not the kind out of cans, microwaves, or bags, or anything will still be edible in 50 years).
3. Connect with your body and notice how good you feel when you eat healthy, clean food. How is your energy level and overall disposition? Make that feeling not just an occasional “good mood,” but a consistent part of your daily life.
4. Get a good night’s sleep. Being tired can lead you to eat funky foods to feel energized. Try to use food only as fuel, not a drug.
5. Get busy. Snacking is often a result of boredom. Either choose healthy snacks, or do something to entertain yourself.
6. Beware of the sugar cycle. Little fungi in our bodies love sugar and want you to keep gobbling it up. Sugar is a very tricky and challenging addiction to get over. Don’t kid yourself — sugar is a drug, and it’s legal and cheap.
7. Eat to teach your kids. (That’s right, the gloves are off and I’m hitting below the belt.) We teach our kids the habits they’ll take into their adult life. Let’s try to give them a chance at a healthy life. Show them the right way to eat.
