10 Simple Tips for Great Energy ALL DAY

  • Try a savory afternoon tea rather than a sweet one. It might take a bit of getting used to but persist.
  • Fuel up in the early part of the day with breakfast and lunch and we’ll find we skip snacks until dinner.
  • In preparing sweet treats use healthier natural sweeteners, e.g. brown rice syrup, stevia, coconut or maple syrup or raw honey.
  • Avoid having processed, packaged, highly refined, nutrient dead foods in your home.
  • If there are imbalances in our life emotionally; try talking to a close friend and share problems, do more of what we love and importantly, enjoy it – guilt free.
  • Be outside, exercise or start a new project to help distract any thoughts around food.
  • Drink more water. Often cues for dehydration can be misinterpreted for hunger. If you’re not already, drink about 2L per day, especially if you’re breastfeeding, working in an air conditioned office or exercising.
  • The key to many of these strategies is including good quality fats and protein in their whole forms, visit my website for details. These foods in the right quantities provide great sustenance and leave our blood sugars more stable. When these foods are incorporated into our day regularly many of the reasons for hunger or cravings disappear.   The more we cram these good nutrient rich foods in, the less our desire for sweetness and the more we recalibrate our taste buds to appreciate a more natural level of sweetness in our day.

    Experiment with one or two strategies first up and see how they work for you? How does your body respond? And then consider adding-in another one and so on and before you know it, your energy levels will be so much better and any preoccupying thoughts of ‘what can I eat?’ will become just a thing of the past.
