Have you met JOY? She may be slow BUT she sure is sweet...

Lately, I have had cause to get clear on what I write about and teach and why GI GiGi  - Living the Low GI Life evolved.

 

It is very clear.

I write about the JOY of having good, healthy food in my life.

Joy is something we are all looking for in our lives - in the things we do, with the people we love and when we plan for the future.

What I have observed is, thinking about the "what", "who" and "when" of joy, is simple. 

Actioning it, is not.

I wanted to know what really makes for a happy human. When I read Gordon S. Livingston's book "Too Soon Old, To Late Smart", years ago, his conclusion: there are three necessary elements for human happiness, "Something to do, someone to love, something to look forward to" - made sense and it still does. 

 

So, why is it so difficult to find the joy in all the areas?
 

Confusion!
 

So much "noise" in our lives. So much conflicting information that involves the word "should" a lot of the time.

You shouldn't "should" on yourself. 

This is a major roadblock to your joy and happiness.

 

I know, as someone who has always found joy in the creation of food for others and then seeing their joy, I have been subject to the "shoulds" of doing this. I "shouldn't" use that or I "should" do it this way.

Dare I say, I have been addicted to creating joy but at the same time, have been mindful of my and others, internal, physiological joy too.

 

As a women, I have been utterly sucked in by all the "noise" about what we "should" and "shouldn't" eat and when. I question everything.

 

What I discovered through my love of science and questioning was the Glycaemic Index and slow sugars. How, if you follow a few simple principles when choosing, preparing and cooking your food, you eliminate the food confusion. 

 

The principles of the Glycaemic Index are for everyone, whether you are vegetarian, vegan or a paleo lover. They eliminate the confusion surrounding food choices and preparation. They eliminate the "shoulds" for you.

 

• Eliminating the "shoulds" will clear the food roadblocks for you.
• There is no cutting out of food groups or particular nutrients, even carbohydrates!

Living the low GI life is full of joyful some-things, I love to create and cook.

Living the low GI life is my life, everyday.

 

Stop "shoulding" on yourself and say "I can"!

 

You CAN do this!

 

                                         Low GI-ing, no "shoulding", no denying.
