Episode 14: Food is More Than Fuel

As we were losing weight, the question we would always get was, “what are you doing to lose all that weight?” Everyone wanted to know, what is the ONE THING we did to get healthy. Honestly, there is no one thing. And we talk about that all the time. But today, we are going to address the SECONDMOST asked question. “How in the world did you lose all that weight whileeating amazingly delicious food!” It is not an unwarranted question, as the health industry can paint a very grim picture of what a healthy diet looks like. What we found to be true, however, is that healthy foods are flavorful, colorful, and something to be enjoyed rather than forced down. In this episode, we will explain what we ate and how we discovered that food is way more than just fuel. In this episode we dive into:- Healthy does not mean bland- You can still gather with family and friends and not be food snobs- Healthy does not equate to advanced math in the kitchen- Food is neither bad nor good. Everything in moderation.- What is “Transformative Cooking?”- Food is fuel, yes, but also, community, memories, tradition, and celebration- Stressing over food may be doing more harm than eating the food itself- How to put together a healthy plate- The importance of meal planning - This Week’s “Rudimentary Ritual” – At least 3 meals per week as a family- Recipe to try – Chicken & Stuffing Casserole Things we mention in this episode:- Recipe PageLooking for ways to connect with us:-Website-Instagram-YouTube
