Prelude to Nutrition

Hello! You’ve found your way to my first post in my Nutrition category. Maybe you’re wondering what kind of content you can expect to see flowing into this space. Good! That’s what this introductory post is all about.

Eating well is easily the most significant step you can take to leading a healthy life. What you put into your body is incredibly important, every cell is created and fueled with the nutrients you provide for them. Every bodily system operates with the basic tools they derive from what you ingest. Bad fuel equals bad performance. Give your body what it needs for optimal performance! That being said, I believe that every body has different needs, and I can’t tell you what is best for you – but we as humans can all adhere to a general set of principles to help us identify what we need. I’m here to share with you what I have learned along the way, to empower you with tools and knowledge to help you make your own informed decisions, and to provide you with inspiration to stay on a good track!

If you’re here to figure out how I’ve lost over 110 lbs and continue to improve my health, I’ll tell you right now I can attribute the majority of my progress to what I choose to put in my body. Of course I lead a more active lifestyle than I once did, but when someone says, “You can’t outrun what you put on your plate,” they aren’t kidding around. I know first hand how hard it is to maintain the resolve to stay away from the constantly available poor food choices in today’s society. I’m lucky now to have the voice of experience on my side. As someone who has lost over 40% of their body weight, I hope you can trust my advice as earnest, and solid.

Here you will find a variety of resources to help you trim up, or just find more efficient ways to propel yourself. With in-depth spotlights on hard working natural foods and ingredients, you will learn to shop for smarter choices. With tried and true delicious, clean recipes that you can pick (and tweak!) to fill your arsenal with great meal ideas, you will settle into a new comfort zone preparing your own nourishing meals. You can expect to find an abundance of inspiration, from tough love and cold hard truth, to fun and sharable graphics and quotes to help you charge with confidence into a better lifestyle.

You will also find write ups on various products that lend aid in the kitchen. Tips, tricks and tools to help you become a better chef, a confident cook. I believe these are valuable skills for anyone. What do I get out of it? In writing to help you, you will help me to stay on track too! I’m sure I’ll discover a lot along the way, we can learn together!

I invite you to engage with me in this process, leave a comment! Drop a note, send an email, I’d love to hear your suggestions or thoughts anytime. I’ll do my best to address your correspondence!

In the spirit of transparency, I hope to write many product reviews, both compensated and without compensation. I will only ever promote products I truly believe in, use, and think will make a positive impact in your life – should you choose to give them a try. Any time I publish a post that I have been compensated in any way for, I will be sure to inform you in the introduction of said post, including my disclaimer (which you can find here) All opinions will be my own, nothing scripted, ever – that is my word.
