It is always good to try new things, recipes, food It is always good to try new things, recipes, foods, cooking methods, and books! If you are hitting a brick wall every time you try to improve your health or lose weight, maybe you need a completely new approach. You will find it in Feeding Good Habits, pop over to Amazon to 'look inside' and you'll see the book's chapter list which could well blow your mind. I have covered so many topics to help you question just about every aspect of how, what, why, where, and when you eat. It will change the direction you are going in without you even noticing. And that is the best way to do things. It could be just what you need to break down that wall. Buy it today on Amazon, Feeding Good Habits by Kathy Mac - £12.99. There's also a FGH Kindle and hardback edition, journal, and food diary so you have it all.

This is the simplest and healthiest breakfast, wit This is the simplest and healthiest breakfast, with two of your ten a day in one sitting. Simply mash a banana in with one egg and a few blueberries then simply cook gently in a frying pan with a little coconut oil. Perfect even if you haven’t got much time. Feed good habits. Kathy Mac xx
If you want to get the benefit from real fast food If you want to get the benefit from real fast food - unlike the other stuff, reach for a banana today. Not only will it give you a sustainable energy boost, it is great for gut health - due to its fibre content, and because it is high in potassium - an important electrolyte, it is believed to support heart health, blood pressure, and mood. What more could you ask for from a humble banana? In addition, one banana counts as one of your 'ten a day,' and comes with its own biodegradable packaging as an added bonus! Make sure you eat one today, especially if you are starting to lag mid-afternoon, you'll be so pleased you did.

Sleep is sooo important. If you eat badly it can m Sleep is sooo important. If you eat badly it can make you sleep badly, and if you sleep badly you are much more likely to eat badly, that's a vicious cycle if ever I saw one. Exercising in the morning has been shown to improve sleep, as does getting some sunlight during the day - preferably in the morning. Not eating too late, not drinking caffeine too late in the day, and ditching your phone and other gadgets an hour before bed have all been said before, but do you follow them through? I know I struggle with the last one! However, my most important takeaway is setting a bedtime alarm clock. If you know how many hours of sleep you need then set an alarm to go to bed so you can wake up naturally. I nearly always awake before my alarm if I do this. Don't forget an alarm, is exactly that, it alarms you - that is no way to start your day!

We often feel we have to make lots of big changes We often feel we have to make lots of big changes in one go in order to get healthier, but small changes over a period of time are far more sustainable and have the best effect in the long run. Try starting with a healthier breakfast – like porridge with fresh fruit and nuts. Increase movement and exercise by walking more – a 15-minute walk after a meal helps to aid digestion. Why not swap coffee or tea for a glass of water – hydration is so important for all our bodily functions and caffeinated drinks are understood to be dehydrating. Trade an unhealthy snack for a piece of fruit and a handful of nuts – the protein from the nuts will help satiate you far more than a chocolate bar will. Just try one of these, starting today, and build on that, introducing something different next week. And if you falter, don’t worry, just try harder next time.

Simple food diaries just scratch the surface, but Simple food diaries just scratch the surface, but there is a whole lot more to them than first meets the eye which is why I have compiled a Feeding Good Habits Food Diary that tracks everything that is related to food, like how you sleep, your mood, energy levels, the exercise you do, and how much you poop! Once you can see the big picture you will see patterns that you can work on changing. It is the perfect place to start any new healthy eating programme. Give it a go. Available on Amazon.

Just one small shift today can make a huge difference in a very short time. So if you hear yourself saying 'Does my bum look big in this?" then decide in the moment to make one small shift in the way you do things and see where it takes you.

We all know what it's like, we pop to the supermar We all know what it's like, we pop to the supermarket to pick up a couple of items we need for dinner, and before we know it we've spent £20+ on stuff we don't need. We are lucky if we even remembered to buy the items we went in for because the supermarket's clever marketing is in place to ensure we pick up way more than we want every time we go. This is one good reason for being prepared, meal planning, sticking to shopping lists, and avoiding unnecessary supermarket visits helps to keep us on track, avoid waste, and will save us a load of money too - no brainer.

We all know it, but somehow we avoid putting the w We all know it, but somehow we avoid putting the work in, although if we miss this crucial part we will struggle to move in the direction we want. And for a small amount of prep time you can reap these amazing benefits….. Enhanced self-discipline - because you know exactly where you are from day to day Reduced stress and anxiety - because you have already laid the foundations so there is nothing left to chance. Saved money and less waste - because you won’t buy food you don’t need and would otherwise just waste because you haven’t got a plan for it. Solid foundations - because everything starts with preparation; it is the basis of any good structure. It keeps you from going off-piste - because you have a plan and therefore you have something to stick to. Put in the preparation, it is so worth it. There’s a whole week of it in my book Feeding Good Habits – we’ll come to the rest soon, or you could buy the book and get started today.

It is true that ‘Failing to Prepare is Preparing It is true that ‘Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail.’ From the simplest of tasks to the greatest, preparation is key. It’s okay though, I’ve done it all for you. Week One of my book Feeding Good Habits focuses on preparation, so this week I am going to share with you why preparation is so important. Preparing to succeed rather than preparing to fail could be your way out of here! See you there.

I always believed that by simply eating the right I always believed that by simply eating the right food all your health problems would be solved, but it goes way deeper than that, and understanding how, why, when, and where you eat what you eat will give you a greater insight into your health and your life. My book, Feeding Good Habits, strives to do this, as it takes you on a journey of self-discovery so you can finally get to the place you have possibly been trying to get to for years. Health professionals and weight loss companies barely scratch the surface when it comes to what is behind your eating habits, which is why their success rates can be on the low side. It's time to try something completely new. No one is going on a diet, counting calories, or being deprived here, instead, there will be a shift in understanding and mindset, which is the secret to your healthy self.

They say every story is a love story and Feeding G They say every story is a love story and Feeding Good Habits is certainly no different. It is fundamentally about creating a love for real food, rediscovering a love for life, and the feeling of being alive. But most importantly of all, it is about nurturing a love for yourself, because without that you will struggle to make any real progress. Lack of self-worth is one of our biggest demons, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We can work on this aspect of our lives every day through introducing more positive self-talk, practicing gratitude, and looking after ourselves more with our daily actions – healthy food, more movement, and finding a true purpose in life – this is mine - to help you. There is more on this to come as we travel through some of the contents of my book – a book about mindset, habits, hunger, nourishment, and above all else, love.

We can't blame anyone else but ourselves if we are We can't blame anyone else but ourselves if we are not who we want to be. That may sound harsh, but that's only because it is the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts. We often try to blame others, the government our parents, friends, partners, the food industry, our genes, etc, but it is us that have the power to ride above it all and be exactly who we want. What and who do you want to be? And how are you going to get there? Can you at least see it is possible? If you can, you are halfway there.
