One
of New Zealand’s top five group personal trainers, life coach and mother of
three, Lauren Parsons tell us how we can eat guilt-free and look and feel
great…the French way.
Parsons has 16 years’ experience in the health and wellbeing
profession and has lived and worked in France. Six months into her first stay
in France, she had put on so much weight her clothes no longer fitted her, her
skin was terrible and her health was deteriorating. She felt miserable.
Then she realised the French were eating in a completely
different way.
She adopted their attitude to food, learnt how to eat
mindfully and lost the weight effortlessly, returning to New Zealand lighter
and brighter.
She faced a new challenge while pregnant with her third child as she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. So she conducted an extensive amount of research into nutrition and discovered the best way to eat for optimal health.
Now Parson’s shares her knowledge in Real Food Less Fuss.
She says, “no other book on the market focuses on the
planning side in the way that I do, taking the stress out of cooking with my
unique meal planning system.
“Very few books explain the French attitude to food or go
into the psychology of eating to give you the keys to enjoy your food
guilt-free.”
The first section of Real Food Less Fuss focuses on
how we eat such as the negative spiral of dieting, the effects of stress,
building a healthy relationship with food and overcoming emotional eating.
The second section is about real food and looks at
preservatives and additives, food processing and food labels … and the beauty
of real food.The third and fourth sections includes Parsons’s meal plans, money-saving tips and how to shop smarter.
The last section features tried and tested recipes which are quick and simple, using affordable and easily-sourced ingredients.
“A common story I hear from clients I’ve coached over the
years is that as they enter their thirties and forties it gets harder to stay
in shape. Waistlines expand, clothes no longer fit and tiredness seems ever
present.
“People tell me they want to eat more real food, but life is
so busy that they don’t know how to get out of the routine of relying on quick
fixes like takeaways, processed ingredients and convenience food” she says.
This is why Parsons chose to publish Real Food Less Fuss
– to be the ultimate guide for
busy people to plan, shop, cook and eat mindfully and to have less stress and
more energy every day.
