Eating well

Using nuts and seeds to snack on and having main meals containing protein (fish, eggs, lentils, soybeans, legumes) will also ensure that the amino acids that are necessary for the detoxification process are available. 

We need to re-calibrate to focus on NUTRIENT dense rather than CALORIE dense foods. 

What you eat is meant to nourish you.

As part of our recovery our diets need to: 

Support gut health (repair from the treatments and digestion from now on)

Energise us - and have our energy be stable and building over time (Food is meant to make is feel good). 

Provide us with all the nutrients we need to healthy processes in our bodies (including strong immune function)

Support elimination of “toxins” so they don’t get stored in our fat tissues “for later” and build up. 

Taste good (this is a controversial and subjective subject, even within my own household.) 

Luckily our diet has this capability. 

Now that it’s time to focus on recovering. It’s also time to focus on having food be a healthy fuel for you. Your body needs loads of nutrients for all its healthy functions, and you will also want your energy levels to be stable. The best way to make healthy smart choices about our food is to be aware and prepared. 

There are 2 main things you can do with your diet to support your energy levels being more stable (and therefore feeling better and being able to make healthier choices with what you eat).
