The Best Diet in the World.......

What is the best diet for weight loss? No it's not that miracle in a sachet. It's your State of mind.
When our mind and body are in alignment health and vitality shine through. The better we feel within the better we feel on the outside, caring for ourselves is an outward sign of respect and we pass that down through to our families.

Is love really about piling our plates with fat and sugar and heavy carbohydrates?

What we're looking for when we eat is that feeling of fullness, contentment, satisfaction.

Mindfulness is the new word bandied about but I prefer to use the word awareness.
When we indulge in meditation it gives a chance to really step back and examine the reasons why......And to also realize there are other methods to achieve that sense of contentment.

As adults we are all responsible for what we choose to put in our mouths...we are also responsible for the eating habits of our young children and raising them with awareness of the laws of cause and effect

Be clear headed instead of impulsive. If we're honest with ourselves that extra bit of weight did not just magically appear overnight. Indeed, it took a series of less than optimal food choices over a certain amount of time. It's easy to say, “I'm on a diet.” But it's our actions when faced with choices that regulate our thought patterns. When we actually realize that the new diet fad doesn't work miracles, its the long term changes to the way we eat and the amount we actually should be eating, combined with physical movement that empowers us to take charge of the shape of our bodies.

We forget the regret or guilt that comes right after eating the unhealthy food. Meditation enables you to control your inner thought patterns. This is crucial in the heat of the moment, thinking of the long term, leading you to make much better food choices then comes easily and naturally
Meditation satisfies the same neurochemical “fix” within the brain that we get when we eat addictive food. Did you know that food can very much be an addictive “drug” which elicits drug-like chemical reactions within the body? Its true, eating that bag of Doritos not only tastes great but also releases many “feel good” chemicals, like dopamine and endorphins, which doubles food’s addictiveness potential.
Meditation just so happens to do the very same thing within the brain, but healthily and naturally, in the same way that a jogger gets a “runners high”. What does this mean for people wishing to lose weight? Fewer unhealthy food cravings, less impulse to raid the fridge at midnight, and ultimately a better, healthier body and mind.



Anxiety and depression lead us to overeat (emotional-eating). Meditation fixes all of the above. In a world full of difficult times, it becomes very easy to develop a seemingly permanent dysfunctional emotional issue, such as anxiety, depression, or addiction (food addiction). We all suffer from these issues, some more than others — emotional-eating is not often discussed.
In fact, many studies strongly link stress levels within a society to obesity rate. Fortunately, meditation transforms how your body and mind react to stress. By raising the ceiling at which you mentally and physiologically perceive an event to be stressful, meditation effectively treats anxiety, depression, and addiction (yes, food addiction) from manifesting within your psyche.
Meditation lights up the “willpower” brain region. Those who meditate have been proven to posses a higher level of willpower. Neuroscientific studies have shown very high activity in the “dorsolateral prefrontal cortex”. Its no coincidence that this brain region is also highly active in meditators. Meditators naturally have a highly-disciplined, good food-choice making brain, with the body to match.

Your body won't change unless you do. so take the first positive step.
