The Love-Centered Diet: Eating to Support Your Happiest, Healthiest Life

When I think about the junk I used to put into my poor body, I cringe. For years, I ate fast food, drank too much, and overloaded on sugar without any idea what it was doing to my body, my mind, or my spirit. It didn’t occur to me until later in life that all that toxic eating was directly linked to my anxiety, illness, and bouts of depression—not to mention the primary cause of the frustrating fatigue I experienced all through my twenties.

Our bodies are our ultimate source of renewable energy. They are beautiful miracles made up of trillions of tiny little universes called cells that rely solely on our love, support, and nurturing to thrive, and in return, support us in this life. I can’t imagine a person on this earth whose body is not their single most prized possession, yet rare is the person who remembers this daily and lives in alignment with that priority.

This chapter is not your typical chapter on nutrition, health, and diet. It’s a delicious little journey into shifting the way we make everyday choices, including food choices. It’s not about a standard diet plan either, but rather a simple, mindful, love-centered, holistic lifestyle practice that can change the way we view the foods we’re choosing and influence other choices we make—as we’re making these choices. This makes it infinitely easier to pass up things that don’t support our happiness and true desires for our best life and create the space to invite in more of those foods (and other things) that do.

I’m beyond excited to share this with you, because in its great simplicity lies tremendous transformational power. A small mindset shift is all it takes to open up a new, empowering way to make even the smallest choices that impact your health, energy, and life.

Millions of people have been searching for decades for a miracle pill that will help them have more energy, release excess weight, and feel healthier when, in reality, this simple, mindful lifestyle path is the miracle they truly need. It’s a powerful practice based on self-love that greatly strengthens our willpower and desire to make incredibly healthy, energizing choices like never before. A truly Love-Centered Diet.

I believe the weight-loss and health-care industries have something largely backward. Most of them tell people that if they lose weight, they’ll feel great, look great, be healthier and happier, and have boundless energy. They work to convince us that we need whatever it is they’re selling so we can lose the weight and achieve those desired results. Here’s my question: What if we reverse it? I believe that if we consciously focus our efforts and choices first on just the desired results of being healthier and happier, feeling great, loving ourselves more, and having incredible energy—and we make those goals a top priority through radical self-care and choices aligned with these desires—our beautiful, intelligent, responsive bodies will feel safe to naturally seek out and maintain a healthy weight.
