Stress and Food - Simple Change in Your Diet Gives the Strength

Author: Michael Pollak

Fruit

Have you ever eaten a meal and felt lethargic or kind of blah
afterward? I know I have. For a long time I never knew the power
you get from little changes in your diet. I used to eat a lot of
carbs. You know bread, pasta, cereal, rice, crackers, cookies,
granola bars and such. I didn't think much of it. It was just
the fastest to eat.

Do you know the effect on your body from eating a mostly carb
diet? You have less energy and generally do not feel as good as
you could. Stress is better handled when you have energy and
feel good. You may not even realize that your diet is comprised
mostly of carbs. I know I didn't, until my wife helped me to see
it. This article, hopefully, will help some of you to see it.
This is a start for you feeling better.

I'm not saying you go crazy and cut out all the carbs from your
diet. All you have to do is cut down a little and balance out
your diet. Now, I hope I'm not sounding like your mom. I just
want you to know the wonderful strength you get to handle stress
by lowering your carbs and having a little more protein, a
little more vegetables, and a little more fruit.

Take a look at what you eat during the day and replace a few
carbs with a fruit or protein. I can't tell you enough how much
better I feel when I changed my mostly carb diet to a more
balanced diet. It really isn't that hard either. It just takes a
little effort to change one or two things you eat in a day from
carb to protein, fruit, or vegetable.

Try it out this week. Go to the grocery store and buy a few more
fruits. Bring some with you to work as a snack to give your diet
some balance. It is all too easy to consume too many carbs. Carb
rich foods are usually the quickest to get and eat. Most snacks
fall into the carb category.

Replace one carb food a day with a fruit, vegetable, or protein.
Some examples include: string cheese, yogurt, bananas, and
carrots. Pick things you will really enjoy. Jazz them up with
some dips or dressings (that aren't full of carbs).

This method is guaranteed to have you singing and dancing in no
time. Why? You'll feel so much better and that is strength to
tackle the stress in your life. My goal is to give you all the
help you can get to whip stress in your life and be happy. Use
it and enjoy.

Sincerely, Michael Pollak
