If you want to feel well both physically and mentally, become inquisitive about what you eat.
All calories are not equal. Some will leave you feeling hungry, sick, tired, and bloated, whereas others will leave you feeling vibrant, energised, and satisfied.
For example, compared to carbs, protein keeps blood sugar levels more stable, cause less cravings, and keep you feeling satisfied for longer.
Sustained freedom from cravings and food obsession is much more than counting calories. It is about understanding how the calories you eat make you feel the way you do.
As a rule of thumb choose calories that are processed as little as possible. These will contain more nutrients, less sugar, and more fibre. They will protect your liver and feed your gut, which will make you feel better on every level.
