A great way to start a healthy lifestyle is to start having self control. \u00a0Spring season is a good time to start doing a intermittent fasting, which doesn\u2019t mean starving yourself but putting some restriction in your daily food diet and habits. Fasting can be viewed as simply a change in eating patterns, or a change in habits. \u00a0For our new engaged couples, newly weds and married couples, intermittent fasting can be a easy way to maintain the healthy habits you started during your wedding journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Think about eating smaller meals instead of three main meals in a day and restrict a time where you will not eat, such as past 7pm. \u00a0Incorporate whole fresh foods in your eating habits, and eliminate processed foods, high sugar foods and drinks and limit carbohydrate intakes, such as rice, pasta and bread. By being intentional about what you put into your body, your mind will also begin to change its pattern of thinking. \u00a0With increasing self control, there will be an increase in empowerment over your life, along with more energy, focus and clearer thinking .
