Section 1 of the Nutrition and Lifestyle Questionnaire is the most important, hence the reason why it’s section 1. (Doh)

The main objective for you is to reduce your score so that it is as low as possible.

  • Scores between  40-88  place you in the High Priority
  • Scores between 20-39  place you in the Moderate Priority and
  • Scores between 0-19  place you in the Low Priority.

If you scored between 40-88 then the easiest way to lower your score and therefore maximise the chances of living a healthier wellthier lifestyle is by simply adopting some or all of the major strategies below:

  1. Eliminate your use of the microwave oven (10 points)  Instead use  your oven to re-heat food.  if your child came to you and said, “I’ve come up with a way of doing 30 mins worth of homework in 60 seconds”  would you let them?  probably not.
  2. Eliminate the use of artificial sweeteners completely (10 points)  This is a no brainer.  The word “artifical” should be your warning flag.
  3. Don’t eat from vending machines (10 points)  There’s nothing nutritious in a vending machine so give them a miss.
  4. Don’t drink tap water. (10 points)  How old is your sub-division where you live.  Most of the pipes that bring the water to your house are over 100 years old.  At Pat Rae Personal Training we use a bench top filtering system.  For more information, CLICK HERE.
  5. Eliminate eating fast food (10 points)  refer to point number 3.  there’s nothing nutritious in any of the fast foods.

Other considerations include:

  1. Eat vegetables more than twice a day and more often raw.  Where possible shop organically for your vegetables.
  2. Go for free range hormone free meat over commercially grown grain fed hormone meats.
  3. Go for Celtic sea salt over iodised table salt.
  4. Unsalted and un-roasted nuts over the salted and roasted versions.
  5. Eliminate table sugar all together.

Spend the next 6-8 weeks implementing these strategies into your overall lifestyle and I guarantee you’ll start to feel better and have more energy in next to no time.
