Food choices are one of the hardest things to change (in my opinion).

I don’t know about you, but food can bring up a fond memory, make an experience more fun, make you feel better when you are sick or down in the dumps! Some much power in such a simple item, right?

BUT THEN, you feel pressured to lose weight and to do that you have to give up everything you love and all of the amazing flavors our culinary world has to offer. Bring on the “meh.”

We have been trained to believe that in order to lose weight we have to restrict our calories, cut out all things with flavor, sugar is the devil, and you are forever stuck eating salads which plain grilled chicken and no dressing. PSA: WE AREN’T RABBITS.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be like this…and honestly it IS NOT like this for me even as a hyper-fixated on food health coach (lol).

Intuitive eating and experimenting with different flavors and ingredients to make food a fun, nourishing experience again has saved my health journey and allowed me to stay the hardcore food lover that I am. And I want to share this way of eating with you!

Now, I want to share flavors with you that you can start using TODAY. Ingredients I keep on hand to boost any meal:

• Trader Joe’s 21 Salute Seasoning
• Everything Bagel Seasoning (love it on avocado toast)
• Italian Herbs Seasoning
• Chili Seasoning
• Taco Seasoning
• Any fresh herbs (just adds a zest of freshness)
• Coconut aminos (or liquid aminos if you want more salty vibes)
• Fresh ground sea salt and pepper (the taste is a huge difference, trust me)
• FRESH squeezed lemons or limes, it just tastes better fresh
• And I’m always adding onions, garlic and olive oil to every meal…the subtle flavors can really make a meal.

Enjoy my friend and happy flavor boosting healthy cooking! (that was a mouthful)
