HOW You Eat is Just As Important As WHAT You Eat and WHEN! Many of you have heard me talk about food designers before. They have the task of creating the perfect ratio of fat, sugar and salt in a food product that will create opiates in the brain to have you craving more! People already restricting themselves find these cravings overwhelming and will often berate themselves and feel like failures, believing they have no willpower or motivation. This often leads to comfort or emotional eating, which of course is only feeding the cravings. People try so hard to eat healthy,

Is Your Food Really Food?

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on May 26, 2013 / Food, Healthy Eating

Don’t Eat Anything Your Great-Grandmother Wouldn’t Recognise As Food! I saw this pic recently and thought, That’s so right! My own great-grandmother lived to a beautiful and delicate age of 100 years old! The bulk of what she ate came from nature: out of the garden, off a tree, grown on the farm and made at home. She ate good food, took good care of herself and lived a long, often hard, but satisfying life. I can’t help but notice the difference in food quality between our grandparents time and now. They ate fresh fruit and vegetables as standard. Much of our

Do these negative thoughts hold you back from making change? I never stick at anything, I’m just a failure It’s too hard, I

Are You Eating Your Feelings & Emotions?

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on January 4, 2013 / Emotional Eating, Food, Healthy Eating, Mindset

Do you EAT your feelings? It might be a fear of not being good enough, a tendency to follow instead of speak up, or simply daily life challenges building up. When you find yourself emotional eating, have you ever thought about what it is you’re trying to avoid? The most effective way of overcoming emotional eating is to FEEL your feelings instead of pushing them way down into your cells and piling food on top of them. Change and uncertainty take time to adjust to. The longer you ignore, discard or push aside what you are TRULY feeling, the deeper they will go

Not having made these babies since my early twenties I simply put together what I thought until they were the right consistency for rolling.
