I find this to be very important; especially when you want to make healthy changes in what you eat!  Changes that will last for a lifetime:

It is the idea of adding-in.  Not taking certain foods away each day, but adding healthy choices into your daily food intake will help you stay positive and know you are doing you body good! 

When we focus on what we can not or do not have there can be a feeling of deprevation.  When we feel deprived then there is  a high chance of binging on poor quality foods and then feeling down on ourselves for not being successful with our diets!

 When we focus on putting yummy, healthy foods into our bodies, we focus on what we did that was good for us and less on what we did or did not do that was not so good for us!

Start by adding-in a green smoothie  or the Ultimate Green Machine each morning.  BEGIN your day with it!  When it is the first thing (after water with lemon, of course) you give your body as nourishment, then this is what your body wil want for the rest of the day; you will be less likely to want to eat junk later in the day!  Your body will say "Hey! Gimme some more of that green stuff...you know, the stuff that made me feel so good this morning!"

If you begin your day with a bagel and cream cheese and think to yourself "I'll drink the smoothie for lunch" you will be more likely to go out for a sub sandwich with chips and soda. 

Believe me.
 
More people write in to me with this issue!  I have spoken/ emailed hundreds of people that have lived this scenario! 

By simply adding-in your green smoothie first thing in the morning, you can give yourself props for doing your body good!  Your body will thank you.  And I promise it will bleed over into the next meal or snack...and into the next as well until you are eating more and more of the good stuff that really keeps you light, energized and in a good place physically, mentally and spiritually!

So, add-in my friends!  Add-in!
In peace,
Kirsten
