millie says follow principles

follow principles to stay on mental track. just like naturopathic medicine is based on principles such as do no harm, treat the cause and doctor as teacher… The Food for Mood Diet is based on a parallel foundation. today i’ll let you in on the very important principles, and in subsequent days extrapolate on each one.

1. eat whole grains almost always (no white bagels, rice, pasta, bread or cereal)
2. drink hot lemon water first thing in the morning
3. eat complex carbs and protein at breakfast upon waking.
4. eat every 3 hours (either 5-6 small meals or 3 meals and 2-3 snacks)
5. limit stimulants to 0 or 1
6. eat protein at every meal (include vegetarian and probiotics)
7. limit added sugar and sweeteners
8. drink 1/2 your body weight in pounds, in ounces of water
9. eat 7-10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day
10. eat omega 3 fatty acids daily (fish oils, cold water fish, flax, hemp, salba, pumpkin, etc.)

might seem overwhelming but we’ll break it down over next 2 weeks.
