BALANCING DIET
Please read pages 93-98. Week 1 is about getting present to what you are eating. We are aiming to bring you back into
your body so that you can begin to really understand your relationship
to food and what your particular body needs. Identify your patterns
through your observations. We are not looking to overhaul your entire
diet in 1 week, make small shifts as you begin to incorporate more of
what you notice may be deficient in and less of what you notice you
are in excess of.
