What Your Food Cravings Are Really Telling You!

Do you ever find yourself having incredibly strong cravings for a certain type of food? I'm sure you do, I think we ALL do. Well, according to scientific research, it could be your body’s way of telling you that you’re lacking in a specific nutrient.

Genuine hunger is triggered by the stomach and if you’re hungry enough, it’s likely you’d eat pretty much anything.

Cravings though, tend to be a lot more specific and more focused on a certain type of food, which gives a lot away in terms of what your body truly needs or might be lacking. You may not realize it, but certain cravings can tell you exactly what your body is crying out for.

Here are some common food cravings that I know myself and my clients have,  and what they suggest your body isn’t getting enough of so that next time you reach for that chocolate bar or salty food, you are well informed to make the right food choice for your body!

Ready? We'll start with one of the most popular. 

What Is A Compass Rose?

What Is A Compass Rose?

When I started my Nutrition business, I wanted to really be here for you, to support you, and during a long walk with a friend one day about 4 years ago now, we brainstormed what that means to me, what the vision of my business is, and how I can serve you best.

Do you come up with your best ideas on a long walk too? For me, it's either during a walk or while I am laying in bed trying to fall asleep...

Anyway, that is where Compass Rose Nutrition & Wellness came from. During this long walk with a good friend. Once we both chatted about it, we loved it more and more and more!

You might be still asking though- what the heck is Compass Rose? So I made you a short video so I can explain it and show it to you!

If you are struggling to reach your goals, lose weight, have more energy and eat healthy, then take some time out of your day and watch these videos. I think they will really help. 

Hot topic right now with my clients is willpower. It was common enough this week in our chats, emails and videos, that I wanted to make it a bigger discussion and address it. 

As a Nutrition coach, I help busy, professional women create a lasting healthy nutrition and wellness program so they lose weight and have more energy without dieting, feeling restricted so they can feel strong and sexy, NOT tired and bloated. 

A HUGE part of this is being in the right mindset.

Healthy and Simple Summer Meals

Summer is HERE! 

Your schedule is packed. Your days are full. And you have absolutely no idea what you’re cooking for dinner tonight.

Sound familiar? This was my biggest struggle while trying to create a healthy lifestyle that sticks. It’s just so simple to speed through a drive-thru on the way home from work, and not have to worry about cooking. Right?

Clearly, fast food isn’t going to help us reach our health goals — this, we know! So something else has to happen… something more permanent. 

It took awhile, but I finally hacked the kitchen confusion and figured out how to plan healthy, simple meals without spending hours in the kitchen daily.

And I’m going to teach you those simple strategies! Go ahead, take that deep sigh of relief. 

Below we are going to talk about Summer Snacks, Summer Cookouts and some delicious Summer Drinks.
