What is The Total Life Diet?

H for a Healthy, Tasty and Balanced Diet

So, what is a healthy, tasty and balanced diet? A healthy, balanced diet is not low-carbohydrate or high-carbohydrate, low-protein or excessively high in protein. It’s moderate in carbohydrate, has substantial quantities of protein, is low in saturated fat and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. It includes vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, fibre and resistant starch and includes a wide variety of foods each day.

You can make healthy food taste delicious by using small amounts of good oil and lots of herbs, spices and low-fat flavourings.

O for Omega-3s

Omega-3s are super-nutrients that are required by every one of us – from unborn babies through to seniors. Omega-3s work in multiple ways – at many different levels – to protect us, heal us, help with weight loss, improve our quality of life and can actually help to make us happier!

P for Positive Thinking & Positive Action

We all want to feel happy, and positive thinking is an important part of feeling good. If we think positive – believe we can do it – and take action – we can do just about anything – and that includes losing weight and keeping it off, lowering your blood cholesterol levels or beating diabetes.

E for Exercise

Exercise or regular physical activity is a misunderstood word. You don’t have to join a gym. If you enjoy gyms – sure – they can work for you. However, exercise can be as simple as walking, dancing, playing tennis, soccer or cricket. A regular brisk walk is one of the best fat burners – or you can enrol in a dancing class or even dance to your favourite music in your bedroom!
