Find out how to feed your soul, while you feed your body healthier options.

1. Quality food feeds not only the body, but also the
spirit
When the spirit is fed, the body stays satisfied for longer. If you tend to be “hungry” all day, it
could be that you are just not eating food that makes you feel good. When you feel good, you lose
weight.
I’ve experimented with this for a long time now and have proven it not only to myself but to my
kids and to Wade (who was a tough hard nut to crack).
If you don’t believe me, do the food experiment for
yourself
Next time you eat a donut, fries, bread, a pie or pizza (simple carbs) with toxic energy drinks,
take note of how you feel afterwards. I agree, it tastes amazing in the moment, but you are
bound to feel lethargic and sluggish half hour later.
But if you eat something a little healthier such as a salad, fruit, digestive crackers, cheese or
eggs, you will not only enjoy it at the time, but also feel sustained energy later on.
The reason for this is that all the “fun” foods rate high on the glycemic index charts and
therefore play havoc with the blood sugar levels. Better food choices tend to keep the levels on
an even keel, which helps to sustain energy levels and prevent sudden spikes and dips.
Colorful food is great for the soul
When it comes to presentation, color is key. The brighter the food, the better it is for you.(Yes,
many candies are very colorful… I know – but that doesn’t count! We are talking fruits & veg
here!) :-)
Protein is a great feel-good food
Protein is great for weight loss and it also keeps you fuller for longer. It is easy to incorporate
protein into meals by adding nuts, eggs, lean meat cuts, peanut butter and beans to the meals.
If you have a sweet tooth, you should consider replacing one or two meals with a protein shake.
High protein snacks are also great for in-between meals and nuts or protein bars are tasty and
ideal. The right kinds are low GI, meaning they will sustain your blood sugar levels for longer.
These snacks will also help to prevent unhealthy between-meals snacking and therefore it will
help manage your weight better.

2. This is how a Formula 1 shake feeds the
soul and body
It is obvious from this chart that a protein shake is the best way to feed your body for sustained
energy.
