Reflect, Replace, Reinforce: A process
for improving your eating habits.
Healthy eating is not about strict dietary limitations,
staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love.
Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your outlook,
and stabilizing your mood. If you feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting
nutrition and diet advice out there, you’re not alone. It seems that for every
expert who tells you a certain food is good for you, you’ll find another saying
exactly the opposite. But by using these simple tips, you can cut through the
confusion and learn how to create a tasty, varied, and healthy diet that is as
good for your mind as it is for your body.
