Stuck in a food mood?

Food Boredom, the viscious cycle of eating the same foods over and over and over and over again, happens to each of us from time to time. The mood is characterized by an unenthusiastic attitude about food in general that often leads to skipping meals, bouts of eating packaged, processed foods or all-too-frequent trips to the drive thru. If and when you find yourself there, don't despair. There are several things you can do to re-energize your creativity and lift yourself out of the rut:

• Try a one day detox or juice fast to cleanse the palate and jumpstart your digestion
• Browse whole cookbooks for new enticing sumptuous recipes to try
• Ask a friend for a recipe they enjoy and don't mind sharing with you
• Take a cooking or raw foods preparation class
• Go shopping in the produce section of a natural foods market
• Visit the farmer's market in search of a new fruit or veggie to take home
• Watch tons of raw food and/or cooking videos on YouTube

You may discover a new way to add zest with limes, a new flavorful smoothie, a bold sauce recipe, or a new way to prepare leafy greens in less time. Just keep it fun and you're bound to find just the thing to get your creative juices flowing!

And if all else fails, contact a certified holistic health coach who can help you sort through any deeper issues that may be affecting your food mood.
