Magazine

You look down at yourself... and realize that you've put on a few extra pounds. Your pants pinch a little and you no longer feel really comfortable in your skin. You realize that you no longer want to do some things because of your figure. The time has come: the excess kilos have to go.

We have never known as much about food as we do today. There is something about healthy eating in almost every magazine, television programs educate us about food and healthy living, nutrition guides and flyers are available in drugstores, grocery stores and doctors' surgeries - and as a result, we actually know what is healthy and what is not. How to lose weight successfully and what we should avoid.

Many people who want to lose weight tell me that they simply eat less in the hope that it will work. Disillusionment usually follows after a few weeks: if it works at all, then only for a short time

The other day, a customer told me that she must have told herself 100 times that she actually wanted to eat healthier. There are actually enough good arguments for healthy eating, she said.

I think it again and again - there are so many analogies between business and health. For example: we are responsible for our own success. Sometimes we would like to hand over responsibility, in one area to a business coach, in another area to a doctor or therapist. Or blame external circumstances if things don't go as we would like them to.

My neighbor has a lot of rhubarb in her garden and is happy when I take some off her hands. However, as my husband and I are currently eating grain-free, dairy-free and sugar-free (small amounts of maple syrup are allowed), I had to do a bit of searching for suitable recipes. I have now found one that I have modified a little.
