Rather than taking things away, restricting yourself, “dieting”…
Step 1 is to bring in the foods that nourish and support your body and mind!
For weight loss, the key is to focus on the foods that have a low calorie density but a high nutrient-density.
They fill up your stomach with fiber and water to keep you from feeling too hungry, and they fill up your body which might be deprived and restricted of nourishment.
When you bring in the good stuff, it gives your body what you need to overcome cravings, have the energy to move even further forward, and get all of the amazing benefits that allow you to thrive – not simply survive.
To help motivate you, this video has my top 10 list of super nutrient-dense foods + WHY those foods are so spectacular.
Get steps 2 & 3:
Because it’s that really BIG WHY that gives us the push to make changes in our lives.
Even if you think you eat relatively well compared to most people around you, if you’re not getting the really nutrient-dense foods, you may be missing out on some crucial vitamins and minerals.

I will be adding blueberries, avocado and quinoa to my diet this week. Would pumpkin work in the squash category? I had volunteer pumpkin grow in my garden so have about 10 pumpkin stored for the winter. Parsley is in the garden so more chopped parsley. thanks
