Maximized Living is a valuable ally when you decide it is time to revamp your nutritional practices. A good place to start is by keeping a food diary. Over the period of a week try keeping track of everything that goes in your mouth. Don’t cheat. Write down everything you eat and when you eat. Soon you will have a good picture of your eating patterns – what you crave and when; meals you skip and how you make up for them. Pay attention to “red light foods” that you can’t stop eating. Few people overeat on apples or broccoli. On the other hand, some of us could eat an entire pan of macaroni and cheese or a whole bag of cookies.

There is an adjustment period when you change the type and pattern of food intake. For the first few days the body may not be comfortable. If you have decided to kick a caffeine habit, you may also experience some headaches which is often due to  the body detoxiifying. The good news is that when the body gets used to solid, well-balanced nutrition, typically after 2-4 days, a new chapter begins. The body’s old cravings diminish, then disappear and new, healthy cravings emerge. Your body will want foods that are good for it – fruits, vegetables, dairy products, lean meats, or fish, to name a few. Many people report actually craving salads for the first time in their lives. When your body is getting the nutrition it needs, your quality of life will improve dramatically.
