On November 17, 2009, I posted the following status on my Facebook account:
Kate Moss was recently quoted as saying “Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels.” Ladies, your thoughts?
I posted this quote to get your perspective on this statement, what a response! I received humour {thank you Fay & Natasha}, nuggets of advice & wisdom {thank you ladies}, the male perspective {thank you Jerome & Pepe} and insight {I had no idea that women suffering from anorexia use this as their mantra - thank you Sarah}. I want to continue the discussion! As many of you may know, I am passionate about women being healthy - mind, body and soul. Nutrition, in my opinion, is the foundation of good health. Food is less expensive than medicine, food can provide a simple pleasure and food can bring people together in the most wonderful ways. Here is what you have said already and I welcome you to comment, question and contribute below…
A women’s health is the foundation of her quality of life. A healthy relationship with food is the stepping stone for a healthy life. You can follow simple guidelines: eat well and often, eat smaller portions {our stomachs are meant to be the size of 2 fists}, eat brightly coloured natural foods, stay away from foods that have a shelf-life or are man-made {put simply, if you don’t recognize it, don’t eat it}, eat more plant-based foods and indulge once or twice a week and PLEASE - ENJOY YOUR FOOD!
