Conscious eating is the cornerstone of the Ultimate Reset. Following the advice within the program, I implemented a daily reflection on how proper nutrition can serve my body, mind, and spirit. Eating should be a pleasant experience!
Doing so helped me become conscious of an emotional eating pattern, typically involving Marmite on toast! Darn! The Reset has help me reach an awareness of how and when I'm consuming food and converting it into the energy my body needs. Sure I'd love a piece of dark chocolate right night but I'm finding it easier to be grateful for the bounty of goodness that comes from real, fresh, nutrient dense foods. And hey, a huge bowl of fruit with some nuts AND a little shaved dark chocolate will be in my future!.

TIPS!
~ USE THE PORTAL! It is there to help and I admit I didn't use it like I should have Oh, my life would have been SO much easier! I created my own shopping lists and found myself darting back and forth to the store for items I had missed. Meanwhile, those clever chaps at Beachbody had a perfect list waiting for me to print...I should have remembered that they think of everything!

~ Create the right enviroment. Keeping all manner of processed snacks in the house is a sure way to sabotage your healthy eating plan! Clear the cupboards of junk food well in advance! Learn how to make quick and healthy snacks then keep them within reach.
~ Eat before everyone else. If you are concerned about craving your kids Mac and Cheese....eat before the family. I found this a little tough at first due to the fact that I am prone to do the typical 'Mom thing' and put my own needs last. Ha! However, eating early really helped me stay on track. Plus, my family have been incredibly supportive and that alone is a HUGE help in getting through the Reset without cheating.
~ Use your Coach! If your friends and family are less than happy about your decision to forego happy hour and Sunday wings, then you need to get support! You have options, the Ultimate Reset has it's own support portal for all Reseters as well as buddies through Beachbody.com and your Coach. Don't have a Coach? Get one!
I'm in the home stretch! WHOOP! Only 3 more days of the detox and I as yet, I haven't chewed anybody's arm off!
