Stress and Food - Simple Change in Your Diet Gives The Strength You Need
By Michael Pollak
Have you ever eaten a meal and felt lethargic or kind of blah afterward? I know I have. For a long time I never knew the power you get from little changes in your diet. I used to eat a lot of carbs. You know bread, pasta, cereal, rice, crackers, cookies, granola bars and such. I didn’t think much of it. It was just the fastest to eat.
Do you know the effect on your body from eating a mostly carb diet? You have less energy and generally do not feel as good as you could. Stress is better handled when you have energy and feel good. You may not even realize that your diet is comprised mostly of carbs. I know I didn’t, until my wife helped me to see it. This article, hopefully, will help some of you to see it. This is a start for you feeling better.
I’m not saying you go crazy and cut out all the carbs from your diet. All you have to do is cut down a little and balance out your diet. Now, I hope I’m not sounding like your mom. I just want you to know the wonderful strength you get to handle stress by lowering your carbs and having a little more protein, a little more vegetables, and a little more fruit.
Take a look at what you eat during the day and replace a few carbs with a fruit or protein. I can’t tell you enough how much better I feel when I changed my mostly carb diet to a more balanced diet. It really isn’t that hard either. It just takes a little effort to change one or two things you eat in a day from carb to protein, fruit, or vegetable.
Try it out this week. Go to the grocery store and buy a few more fruits. Bring some with you to work as a snack to give your diet some balance. It is all too easy to consume too many carbs. Carb rich foods are usually the quickest to get and eat. Most snacks fall into the carb category.
Replace one carb food a day with a fruit, vegetable, or protein. Some examples include: string cheese, yogurt, bananas, and carrots. Pick things you will really enjoy. Jazz them up with some dips or dressings (that aren’t full of carbs).
This method is guaranteed to have you singing and dancing in no time. Why? You’ll feel so much better and that is strength to tackle the stress in your life. My goal is to give you all the help you can get to whip stress in your life and be happy. Use it and enjoy.
Sincerely,
Michael Pollak
