Well as I mentioned I initially set out to write a blog fllowing my 'post weight loss journey', but all I really wanted to do was discuss food... and not specifically 'diet stuff'.
I guess ironically weight loss for me was re-establishing my connection and love of food. So here we are, this is my 'good food philiosophy'
Not everyone will agree with me, but that’s fine- it’s my point of view, it food through my eyes, or should that be stomach/mouth?
I’m not a dietician, I’m not going to be the next Masterchef and I’m not trying to preach, but this is my approach to food and I’d love to share it with you
Food serves a number of purposes; celebrations, socialising, communication, displays of affection, to calm emotions! Entertainment, holidays, events, routine.
As well as the basic; fuel for our bodies and as a person with an active lifestyle this area is vital. So my personal aim is to try and tick off my daily Good Food Groups.
Where possible I pick wholemeal, multigrain, skimmed dairy and low salt/sugar options. Now I'm not saying everyone has to, this is just how alot of the day to day recipes I bake/make are.
I’m a strong believer on free range food and knowing where your food comes from- but am sure we’ll get back to that.
And if possible support local businesses and suppliers, they’ll generally be fresher.
As I said before good food should be inclusive and doesn’t have to be expensive, so only buy what you need and shop wisely.
I have to be organised, else I get home from work and I have cupboards of nothing to eat!
I guess what I try to do, do the best I can with what’s available, what I can or am willing to afford (time and money). To enjoy making and eating, but most of all sharing… and enjoying food as a part of life.
