Lisa Lewtan author, joins us to talk, developing a better relationship with food

Learning to have a healthier relationship with food is learning to better understand yourself and find the right balance that works for you. The problem with an all-or-nothing approach to healthy eating is that it’s not sustainable. The goal is to feel good and to appropriately deal with stress. Rather than labeling foods as good or bad, think about them as “more often” and “less often.” Putting a negative connotation on our food choices only fuels the fire of self-judgment and keeps us in that awful stress mode. Tell yourself: Success is not about perfection; it’s about how many times I get back on track after falling off.  Lisa Lewtan is a Healthy Living Strategist and founder of HealthyHappyandHip.com, which provides one-on-one coaching, workshops, retreats, and support groups for clients.
