Sustaining Meals DialSM/bend02
Our second DialSM BEND (“beneficial educational nourishment discipline”) in the Nourishment segment which serves the purpose to educate you about Sustaining Meals.
This curriculum is explicitly not about the weight release journey, so many of you are probably interested in. The reason, why We cannot offer that portion of our life coaching for free, is not that we try to manipulate people into paid programs. It is on the contrary out of the concern for the well-being of those seeking to lose weight. Weight-loss journeys are indeed a complex and highly individual matter, that requires a lot of research, preparation, and a well tailored approach, What may work great for some, might be actually unhealthy or health threatening for others. There are millions of articles and probably also millions of experts out there who will very happily give you those tips, fishing in the darkness at best. If you are interested in a healthy life style change that helps facilitate your body to let go of unwanted and unhealthy weight We will work with you individually, but also insist you do it under trained medical supervision. The weight-loss programs are always highly individual and intense in service. By definition, that is more of a private education then a public one, and requires a paid upgrade.
Bend 02, Sustainable Meals on the contrary tries to help you bolden or develop your abilities to sustain your health, and maintain all your functions through changes of how you eat. Over the course of close to 30 years We have been coaching in Europe and world-wide, assisting our clients and their families, to develop the muscles and the knowledgebase, the appetite and the open-mindedness required for transformative changes towards health. Teaching and training people to self-improve We have extracted, refined, created and cultivated sustainable health boosting habits, delicious and delightful meals, that literally anybody can recreate with outstanding results.
Sustainable Meals are usually quite affordable, simply to execute, and do not require neither elaborate cooking, nor special, let alone expensive kitchen equipment. Our recipes are time tested across cultures, and adaptable to taste and food availability. Our goal is to have meals that are simple in many ways. Simple to shop for, simple to put together, simple to cook, and that will leave your kitchen space simple to clean up. Usually we cook bigger portions so we have freezable left-overs, so that the meal once cooked with serve you for weeks to come, and can be safely kept frozen for a good quarter year!
Imagine, if you could eat food that tastes like top restaurant take out dinners, but at a fraction of the meal. Your dish would not even cost you as much in ingredients per plate, as you usually would tip the waiter, and also boost your self-esteem. Can you imagine receiving compliments on your cooking from friends and family, without any much of a hassle in the kitchen? you may be thinking, that it sounds like too good to be true, but rest assured, you will be stunned, what all is actually possible, and how simple things can be. We have taught absolute novices in the kitchen, including college kids and “lazy/spoiled husbands” to execute the recipes to perfection; most of them long distance through written instructions or over the phone! But since you will be saving so much on take outs, and tips, maybe you want to tip your tutor?
There are some ground rules, that you will need to make peace with, so that you can benefit from the free BEND02/Sustainable Meals curriculum. Some of them you may already have heard, some of them may be new news for you. Either way, they are listed in a random order, but each contains a valuable lesson, These rules serve as both, guardrails and guidelines on your path through life. The more you can incorporate and execute, the better your results will be.
List of 15 helpful hints how to self-improve your eating habits trained in Bend02 Sustainable Meals
- Choose the foods you will eat, wisely. Remember you are putting these items not only in your body, but actually in your mouth. If the ingredients in the list contain words, you cannot pronounce, unless you are a chemist? Or if they sound like jet-fuel components from some mad scientists’ laboratory, you should probably pass up the opportunity to snack on it.
- Choose foods that are as close as possible to their natural state. Bread, for example, should offer some resistance to squeezing. remember that Christ is called bread of life. Our bodies cannot be easily flattened, right? Therefore, the bread we eat should not be easy to squish, end to end, as if it was an air-filled accordion.
- Vegetables are best either fresh or frozen, second best canned. When they have been processed into something like tomatoes marinara sauce or ketchup, you will have a much less healthy product at hand, then a vine of tomatoes, and a fresh onion.
- Eat rich in colors. The more colors on your plate, the merrier. Variety is the spice of life. Make sure you don’t eat only same old same old, all the time. As you vary the foods you are teaching our bodies to extract all nutrients it can get, which means you will need less of the good stuff, for the same type of result!
- Add protein to your diet. Proteins are what helps to build and maintain our muscles, and is essential for a healthy life. Whether you prefer the source of protein to be vegetarian or coming from animals is up to your taste.
- Fat is not equal with bad. Not even cholesterol is necessarily unhealthy. On the contrary, our brains need cholesterols (certain fats) to build and maintain its many functions. Cutting out all fat or all cholesterol is just as unhealthy as overdoing it. So use moderation always, when it comes to fat, use a healthy portion of caution, but do not go from one extreme to the other. Fats are highly dense in nutrition, which means that one ounce of fat has the same amount of calories as two ounces of protein! Because fat is much cheaper than protein, the food industry loves to overuse it, so rather cook your own stuff so you know, what you are eating!
- Portion control is important. More is not equal to better. Thankfully most of us are not in food scarce situations, so that we can safely abandon the feast or famine eating. It is healthier to eat 3 to 4 smaller portions of food every day, ideally around the same times.
- Eat the most nutritious meal before you will burn the most energy. It makes no sense to eat a rich dinner at the end of the day, when you will be resting. The old wise saying applies: Eat breakfast alone, share your lunch with a friend, and give your dinner to your enemy. So, if you work a night shift, your above designed breakfast is that meal, before you leave for work, the quoted lunch, is your lunch break at work, and you should eat only a small bite when you come home.
- Eat at least one warm meal a day, and ideally have it consist of protein and vegetables, majorly.
- Add nuts and seeds to your diet. Nuts and seeds are great in combination with leafy greens. you can add a vinegar based dressing mixed with a SMidge of extra virgin olive oil. Feel free to add vegetables and fruit to your salad and lean meats.
- Pray before your meals, and take the time to praise our God for whatever abundance you are about to consume. It is by God’s goodness and grace that we are alive, that we breathe, and that we can eat. As we praise God and give thanks, we are getting spiritually and mentally ready to eat. That shapes our mindset towards health-conscious.
- Never use any electronics while you eat. The food is the main actor. The food is what demands your focus and attention. Can you distinguish the tastes and textures you are putting in your mouth? Delight in that simple pleasure that ensures your survival and is key to quite a lot of happiness. Train and broaden your palette. Try to guess the fruit or vegetable you are eating without looking or touching it. It may be easier than impossible, because a banana is so different from a bell pepper, but telling the colors of bell peppers apart, or even distinguishing grapes or berries may be way harder than you think!
- Usually the fewer ingredients are in a store bought packaged meal, the better. A bag of chips that lists blue organic corn, oil and salt, is usually a lot better than a list a mile long, even if the ingredients are naturally sounding.
- Last not least: In a groceries store, keep to the outskirts isles. If you stick to the periphery isles, you will usually go through the healthier departments, the way most supermarkets are set up. Namely, the produce and meat section, dairy, eggs, are going to be found on the outer ring. In the middle of the groceries store, where all the industrial traps are
- Try to reduce the amount of sugar you consume. Remember that sugar has many fancy names, and forms. Other than DOSE and PANTY-/HOSE usually words that end in the ending “-ose” on ingredients lists describe some form of sugar: sucrose, dextrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, – you guessed it, all of those! Beware also of the less obvious types and names, such as HFCS or High Fructose Corn Syrup. Anything syrup usually refers to sugar, so does fruit juice concentrate, and evaporated cane juice! Also molasses, barley malt and a product called treacle. See how treacly the industry is, to pull the sugar wool over your eyes? Don’t be blinded nor fooled. Sugar should be consumed in small doses, and don’t fall for artificial sweeteners either. They are just as unhealthy, if not worse – just in a different way. Naturally sweet and with self restraint is teh healthiest way. Honey over sweeteners, Natural Maine or Canadian maple syrup over “pancake syrup”, brown sugar over white sugar. And a little sugar over Splenda, Aspartame, (poly-) Saccharin, & co.
The picture above is a prime example for some of these principles. Can you name, which ones you detected?
