Your Menu for Mindful-Eating Pleasure
Created for your delight by Susan Tate
Breakfast  ~Relaxing Breath Appetizer~ Enjoy three precious breaths right now and at the beginning of every meal. Taking three gentle breaths before you eat supports your body in accessing the calming parasympathetic nervous system, which paves the way for healthy digestion. You can add a blessing or sacred prayer here too, if you like. ~Break-the-Fast Early Morning Special~ This dish is for the healthy-minded person who wants to lose or maintain weight. Eat breakfast within an hour of rising; otherwise, your body goes into fight/flight mode, and thinks it's starving. Stress hormones (including cortisol and adrenaline) rush into the stomach to support fight or flight rather than to digest food. That response can lead to weight gain. ~The Great Combination Plate~ Enjoy a delightful combination of quality protein, low-glycemic carbs (see resources at the end of the menu), healthy fats, and fiber to start your day. You'll feel pleasantly full and won't spike your blood sugar. Click here to read the entire menu. |
