Conscious eating

ajvermeulen — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 16:28:07 +0000

I am now about to log my attempt to change my diet by using Conscious Eating by Gabriel Cousens and Yogabhumika by Dr. K.L> Shankaranarayana Jois.

Why? I am not so sure yet. I practice Yoga and I am learning about yogic approaches to diet. I would like to explore some of these practices and see how they influence my life. I am also getting older. I want to make sure my body is in good working order so I can watch my daughter grow. And lastly because I need more energy. I want to do more but I am tired. I want to explore how this affects my energy.
