The news is everywhere now: ultra-processed foods and gut health are linked to low mood and depression. A diet of natural whole foods boosts your mood: fruits and vegetables, fish, lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains. When you consider the benefits of losing weight, combatting compromised health, as well as boosting your mood, there's even more reason to watch what you eat daily.
Break the cycle! Resist succumbing to those intense cravings. Seek to understand what is causing those cravings and the emotions associated with them. Our food choices are often intertwined with social and emotional experiences, but often leave us in the gutter.
