Yay!

You’ve made it through the first week! Well done you.

I know some of the lessons this week have been pretty meaty. But it’s important to set the foundations right to make it easier to make the changes you need to get the results you want for the long term.

Today let’s take a breather…

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN TODAY:

A quick recap of Week 1.
A gentle reminder
Week 2 Preview.

Week 1. Low Carb Why + Getting Started

We’ve covered a lot including:

A Gentle Reminder

No Forbidden Foods!
With the Low Carb Love program there are NO forbidden foods.

Food moralizing, or labeling specific foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ is very destructive. And thinking of yourself as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for eating these foods even more unhelpful. Eating broccoli doesn’t make you a ‘good’ person just as eating a brownie doesn’t make you ‘bad’.

No Guilt or Shame.
The other key philosophy is refusing to feel guilt or shame around what you eat.

This has taken me a while to internalize. I find it’s so much more helpful to be kind to myself. I explore what happened as a ‘gentle detective’, trying to find out what went wrong rather than using over-indulgence as an excuse to beat myself up.

Changing your mindset and how you think is the secret to changing your health.

WEEK 2. ORGANIZATION + PLANNING

Food Theme: Lunches

25 healthy lunch recipes to make ahead or prep at work.
