A Little Book That Will Change Your Eating Habits

I always need a kick-start when I decide to change a habit. For example, over winter break and really even before that, the food I was putting in my mouth was pretty much a disaster. I felt like I was a train wreck in the making. So like most of the country, I decided Jan 1st I was quitting. I was done eating poorly and feeling bad about myself every single time I ate something I knew I should not be eating. I follow FoodTrainers on Instagram for their awesome juice recipes they photograph and noticed FoodTrainers, Lauren Slayton, JUST wrote a book called “The Little Book of Thin”.

I ordered it from Amazon and saved it to read Jan 1st. I figured it would be the kick-start that I needed. Boy was I right. First of all, I read this book in an hour or so. There are so many amazing and practical tips that are so easy to follow I knew this wasn’t going to be “let’s try this for a week and see how it goes” kind of thing. This book is NOT about dieting.  It is about changing the way you eat. It is about learning the difference between good and toxic foods. For example, do you know that Skim Milk DOES NOT, I repeat DOES NOT help you lose weight! There was an entire study that was done in the 1990s that Lauren explains WHY skim milk is not what you think it is. It is much better to have the WHOLE kit and caboodle but if you are making the change, she suggests 2%. Lauren has a list of  items to break-up with including: gum, bagels, diet food and cold cereal (plus a bunch more). One of my favorite parts of the book is the “what to do when you travel? (plane food is the WORST), what to do during a holiday?, what to do when you go out to eat? (you CAN eat out!) This is a book  that teaches you how to eat healthy while living your life! It is OKAY to have a cocktail, it is OKAY to have a snack but there are better options than maybe what you are currently choosing.
