Kickstart Your Healthy Eating Journey with Mareya Ibrahim
It's got to be a must, not a should. Okay, so we need to know what's going on. For some people it's just: I want to survive, to see my child graduate college- okay, that's okay.
Feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of food industry messages and social media influencers? You're not alone. In this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Tana Amen teams up with Mareya Ibrahim, affectionately known as the 'Fit Foodie', to dish out practical tips on how to find the motivation to eat healthier. They dive into the challenges we all face and offer down-to-earth advice that makes adopting a nutritious lifestyle feel achievable.
Mareya gets real about why healthy eating should be a 'must' rather than a 'should'. She encourages listeners to dig deep and identify personal reasons for wanting to eat better, whether it's staying healthy for your kids or avoiding family health issues. This isn't just about willpower; it's about finding a reason that truly hits home. The duo also tackles the confusing and often contradictory messages we get from social media and the food industry.
Mareya suggests being picky about who you follow online and taking control by reading ingredient labels. It's all about filtering out the noise and focusing on what genuinely benefits you. Sharing her own journey, Mareya talks about growing up in a household where food was a free-for-all and how witnessing heart disease in her family pushed her to make healthier choices.
Her story is a testament to the power of personal motivation and the importance of being flexible with your goals. From prepping produce in advance to treating your fridge like a salad bar, Mareya's tips are all about making healthy eating more accessible and less daunting. By the end of this episode, you'll feel empowered to take small but meaningful steps towards better nutrition. Tune in and start your journey towards a healthier you.
