From Stress Eating to Balanced Eating
Mirella saw great progress working with out nutritionist Priya. She started with the basics and now she can enjoy eating healthy AND having a cheat meal with no guilt or worry! Read more about her story below:
“I worked with Priya for about 6 months and some; it is one of the better decisions I have made to help me become a better person on the fundamentals of nourishing my body. You are what you eat. I swear working with her wasn’t as cut throat as that phrase. Priya firmly believes that any small amount of progress is progress- the mere fact of thinking of these small changes is progress enough.
My problem for such a long time has been stress eating, and an up and down rollercoaster of gaining weight and losing weight. We worked on tweaking habits. I was never told or encouraged to remove foods (any) from my diet. I was encouraged to meal prep, drink water, add vegetables-anything I liked, and fruit to my diet.
Every two weeks there was a new habit, and though it wasn’t easy, and honestly, I didn’t always have the motivation to firmly abide by the new habit and new set of changes every 2 weeks would bring. My body and mind picked up on several concepts: hydrating, the way I plan for my week, the way I grocery shop, and even using my down time (I’m also a tv binger) wisely.
Priya has helped me establish sustainable changes that have become intrinsic to the way I eat. I have a nice balance of carbohydrates, protein, fruit, and vegetables for most meals. The biggest change I made is letting go of the all or nothing mentality. I’m not so hard on myself on the days I can’t plan accordingly or end up at a drive-through. She will always remind me of the 80/20 principle! I love it!
It isn’t a one and done concept- I continue to learn and expound upon the simple changes I have made to help me feel good.“
