The end of rehab

March 16, 2009

I think that Diet Rehab is officially drawing to a close!  I consider myself rehabbed!   No, I will not adopt a full vegan lifestyle, but I have made significant changes in my life.

I have added so many whole grains and  vegetable-based proteins to my diet. I drink more water than I ever have before, I drink less booze and I have limited my caffeine intake!  I have also cut down on take-out, restaurant dining and processed food.

I will still be posting things from time to time, but I will no longer be posting everyday–Thanks to all of you have been along for the ride–BIG BIG thanks to Meghan Telpner without whom Diet Rehab would not have been possible!

    It was my pleasure working with you (and hanging out with you too of course).

    You are delightful and I absolutely love your attitude to all of this. So many people take it so seriously. It is important to find the humour in some of the ridiculousness around attempting to lead the healthiest life ever.

    And you absolutely were successfully rehabbed. My intention is never to make clients change everything forever- it is that they make the connection between what they put in their body and how they feel- that they see the benefit in a whole foods based, health supportive diet. You totally did and now know enough that you can indulge once in a while but know what to do to get yourself on track. But with the summer months coming- it will be a easy to stay healthy, a piece of cake if you will ;)

    Thank you for setting a good example for all of us, Lizzie. (However, I do miss those “coffee breaks” with you.)

Diet Rehab is on the National Post Appetizer! Check it out at: nationalpost.com/theappetizer

Grain of the Week: MILLET is a tiny, round grain that can be white, gray, yellow or red. Like barley, it can be pearled and hulled, but it can also be cracked and this is often how it is found in cereals. Millet is a great source of phosphorous and magnesium. Phosphorus plays a roll in virtually every cell in the body. Phosphorus also helps the body to metabolise fats. A cup of cooked millet provides approximately 24.0% of the daily phosphorus needs. Plain, cooked (boiled) millet can be a bit bland--be sure to season your millet well.
