Description
For most of my mid-to-late 20s I followed a fairly strict Paleo diet. In many ways, it worked for me. I looked and felt my best.
But things changed drastically for me when I became a mother.
Suddenly I didn't have TIME to cook all the food from scratch.
Suddenly I had a fussy toddler who refused most of the food I believed was best for him.
Suddenly my body wasn't the most important thing to worry about.
And what happened instead is a much more balanced approach to food.
So in this week's episode of Raising Healthy Mothers, I share my personal journey out of dieting and into a more balanced approach to eat that feels much more loving and kind to myself and everyone around me.
In the episode I discuss...
My transition from the inflexibility of a Paleo diet to embracing a more balanced and inclusive approach to nutrition.
The three things I no longer believe about healthy eating, trace my journey from
What's stayed with me from Paleo, and how it led me to where I am now
I hope this episodes illuminates how things can change over time - often for the better. I couldn't imagine being uptight about food now, and I know my clients appreciate a more realistic approach to eating and food over an uptight one full of restrictions.

Today I answer a question from a mum who feels guilty that her younger baby is not getting a good exposure and variety to food at mealtimes because of her toddler's fussy eating.
I totally sympathise, because this is exactly the experience I'm having with my younger child. I offer some tips to...
