Being a mindful eater...

I'm posting an interesting video I saw on TEDtv today.  This woman is a neuroscientist (meaning she studies the brain) and presents compelling reasons why diets don't work.  Take 13 minutes to watch and listen...



I've heard bits and pieces of this information before, but I love how Sandra shares the "why" behind some of it.

For me, the best part of her talk paralleled part of conversation the night of the kick-off dinner - listen to your body and notice the difference when you feed it well.

As we start toward our first week of completion some of you, like me, may be craving those sugary foods as your body starts to detox.  Think of it as trying to find a different "set point" for your sugar requirement.  The next day or two you may find yourself feeling a little foggy in the head.  KEEP GOING!  Once we are at our first week mark you'll really start to feel cleaner and healthier from the inside-out.  As you start to incorporate more whole foods into your daily eating plans your body will find ways to let you know.  More energy, less congestion, clearer thinking, less bloating, etc.
