The secret of eating guilt free
From the moment our children arrive
into the world they are dependant on us
for food. Whether it’s nourishing our own
body to provide breast milk or nourishing
their bodies so they can learn at school.
One of the most challenging elements of
parenthood would be putting food on the
table. From creating the dollars to pay for
food to deciding what meal you are going
to cook that your family will love without
protest - feeding humans can be intense.
As a solo parent I was doing both and it
soon became a reality that quick, costeffective
options that filled tummies for
longer was essential.
When I qualified as a nutritionist
in 2004 people assumed they see a
nutritionist for weight loss. Having a
healthy body weight is
only a small part of good
health and well- being.
Food fuels the brain,
contributes to balancing
our mood, helps carry
oxygen for energy
around the body,
nourishes body cells so
they grow and facilitates
how we learn.
Although I have
helped countless
people improve
their health since I
graduated, my passion
is eating great-tasting
food without guilt.
I have created over
200 family favourite recipes
that are balanced over four seasons.
Every recipe can be adjusted for different
nutritional requirements including being
dairy-free and gluten-free. The cooking
methods needed to be simple and efficient
to accommodate younger children
demanding attention while you’re cooking
dinner and as they get older so they can
help create them with you.
Flying solo myself, I didn’t have many
dollars each week so the
ingredients are everyday
foods you can get at the
supermarket, out of
your pantry, fridge and
garden. Some weeks,
all I had was $70 for
groceries (that included
non-perishables)
The key ingredient
you need in every
meal is satisfaction.
When the body and
mind are satisfied, it
is easier to cope with
a busy lifestyle. Being
healthy has become
so over- complicated
and diet trends have
become like fashion and are
ever-changing. Dieting also can create a lot
of guilt when we do eat the foods we love.
Dieting is also not demonstrating a healthy
relationship with food for the younger
generation.
Every recipe uses the “science of
satisfaction” - a formula I published in my
book “Wet Your Appetite” - The Secret of
Eating Guilt Free, so that your energy stays
stable throughout the day. You get access
to a electronic copy of my book when
you’re a member of the Guilt Free Food
School.
