without snacks, but I’m experiencing less of
that jittery feeling when I needed to eat. In
fact, I’m feeling sustained longer. I guess it’s
working properly. My only concern is that I
thought grazing was better for your metabolism. Can you shed some light on this?
Great question, Kristi! With so much conflicting nutritional advice out there, I understand
that it can certainly be overwhelming and
confusing. That is why I tell clients to try their
best to listen to their bodies; have confidence
that the body will tell you when it feels hungry,
full, vibrant, light, or slow. It takes a little time
to tune in, but once you do, you’ll naturally
practice what feels best and is best for your
body.
Most of us use the word, “metabolism” without really knowing what it means. It’s not a
place in the body that you can pinpoint or
control. Rather, it’s a fluctuating process of
how the body absorbs and breaks down foreign substances – from food, chemicals, pollution, etc.
Metabolism functions best when the body
is running on good fuel (high-quality food;
fresh oxygen; sunlight). Metabolism functions poorly when it has too much toxicity to
process, break down, and eliminate. So as long
as you’re doing the best you can for your body
and living well (as you seem to be with whole
eating) you’re metabolism will function at
slimming speed!
