Recap: What have we learnt so far?

The Homemade program sets you up for sustainable weight loss and healthy lifestyle changes through 3 simple principles:

1.    Cook your own food – we make this easy because we do it together!

2.    Eat a balanced diet of whole foods as close as possible to the natural source – more on this in this issue!

3.    Practice the Homemade eating philosophy by learning to listen to your hunger.

In our previous issues:

-       We taught you the first steps towards adopting the Homemade eating philosophy, by asking yourself every time you feel like eating:

o   Am I really hungry?

o   What is the most healthy way to nourish my hunger?

-       We also explained why it is so important to cook your own food – because

cooking and sharing food should be a joyful, social activity and this helps prevent overeating and emotional eating. Also, it is the only way to really know what you are putting into your body – with so many unhealthy choices, processed ingredients and huge portions in the restaurants and stores!   

-       Finally, we challenged you to set yourself up for success – not failure -  by blitzing your cupboard of all junk foods and throwing them out!

How are you doing so far?!

Each of these core ideas should remain central to your eating and thinking in the coming months – make sure you keep coming back to our newsletters (or ask us!) if you need a reminder.
