Wil je ook graag overstappen naar ‘Echt Eten’, maar weet je niet zo goed waar te beginnen? Dan ben je hier nu op het juiste adres, want ik ga je in een aantal kleine stappen helpen de overstap te maken naar een gezondere manier van eten: ‘Echt Eten’ dus.
Toen ik in mei 2009 begon met de overstap, heb ik veel zelf moeten uitzoeken en weet je, dat vind ik nog leuk om te doen ook 🙂 Echter niet iedereen heeft daar zin in of tijd voor en bovendien hoeft ook niemand het wiel opnieuw uit te vinden, toch?
Er zijn twee manieren om een verandering aan te brengen in patronen in je leven. Neem een pleister die er af moet, hoe ga je dat doen?
In één ruk, zodat het maar héél even flink pijn doet? Of heel rustig stapje voor stapje dat je er nauwelijks iets van merkt, maar waardoor het wel veel langer duurt? Voor pleisters kies ik voor mezelf meestal voor de eerste methode, maar voor mijn kinderen vaak toch niet, zijzelf in ieder geval niet!
Lees je bijvoorbeeld Eat Fat, Lose Fat, dan wordt geadviseerd je voorraadkasten te doorgronden en alles wat ongezond is de deur uit te doen en met een schone lei te beginnen. Dat kan prettig zijn, een schone lei, maar ik denk dat het makkelijker aanpassen is als je het rustiger aan doet, stapje voor stapje. Zeker voor kinderen werkt dat mijns inziens beter, die hebben vaak nog veel meer moeite met grote veranderingen en als je het in kleine stapjes doet, hoeven ze er niet eens zoveel van te merken, net als bij die pleister.
Ook beter voor de portemonnee trouwens, je hoeft niet in één keer allemaal nieuwe levensmiddelen aan te schaffen. Bovendien, als je een week over een stap doet, hoef je ook maar naar enkele gezondere vervangers te zoeken in plaats van een heel arsenaal inclusief het aanleren van verschillende technieken die gezonder zijn. Je hebt die rotzooi al zo lang gegeten, kunnen die paar maanden er ook nog wel bij (behalve wanneer er een acute situatie is natuurlijk).
De eerste stappen die je kunt zetten en waar je nu al mee kunt beginnen:
- Lees de labels van alles wat je in de winkel koopt in een verpakking, neem eventueel een leesbril mee. Je zult versteld staan ook al zal een groot deel abracadabra zijn! Wist je dat het ingrediënt dat het meest gebruikt is als eerst genoemd moet worden en zo aflopend? Is het je ook opgevallen dat daar vaak ‘glucose’ staat? Suiker dus. Of soms om het minder te doen lijken gebruiken ze behalve glucose ook fructose en misschien zelfs ook nog wel een andere zoetstof zoals aspartaam (E951 en puur vergif). Of het gaat je misschien opvallen hoe weinig er van een bepaald ingrediënt in zit, terwijl de verpakking doet vermoeden dat het voornamelijk daar uit bestaat. Hoeveel avocado zit er nou eigenlijk echt in een potje guacamole in het vak van de supermarkt bijvoorbeeld?
Zie je die waslijsten met E-nummers, chemische toevoegingen? Niet allemaal even verkeerd, maar toch… Op internet kun je lijsten vinden wat die E-nummers allemaal betekenen of je neemt dit boekje voortaan mee in de boodschappentas. Of als je de trotse bezitter/ster van een iPhone bent, dan is deze app misschien een idee. Overigens worden lang niet altijd die stoffen met een E-nummer aangeduid, staat er bijvoorbeeld als ingrediënt ‘aroma’, dan is dat feitelijk E621 oftewel vetsin, opletten geblazen dus!
Kies een zo’n toevoeging uit om die vanaf nu te gaan vermijden, ik suggereer E620-E627 oftewel vetsin of monosodiumglutamaat, of andere glutamaten, aroma, gistextract of MSG, allemaal namen voor dezelfde stof. Of je kiest voor E651: aspartaam.
- Vervang je geraffineerde zout door grijs (keltisch) zeezout.
Iedereen weet inmiddels wel zo’n beetje dat geraffineerde voedingsmiddelen beter vermeden kunnen worden, zout is hierop geen uitzondering. Geraffineerde producten zijn beroofd van hun voedingsstoffen, het zijn dus feitelijke lege, loze ‘voedings’middelen. Tafelzout is prachtig wit (net als suiker en bloem), maar het is enkel Natriumchloride met vaak jodium toegevoegd. At je geen tafelzout omdat je dacht dat zeezout beter is? Is je zout wit? Sorry, dan heb ik slecht nieuws voor je: het is wit en dus zijn de mineralen er uit onttrokken, het is evengoed geraffineerd, zucht… dacht je dat je goed deed. Nee, je moet grijs zeezout hebben oftewel Keltisch zeezout (Himalaya zout is ook ok, maar veel duurder en uit een eindigende bron, zoals aardolie of turf dat ook is). En omdat de Groene Vrouw hier kort geleden al een prima blog over heeft geschreven, ga ik dat hier niet weer herhalen 😉 Wel wil ik er graag nog aan toevoegen dat je het ook heel goed in je drinkwater kunt doen. In tegenstelling tot tafelzout kun je van dit zout liever meer dan minder binnen krijgen en het is nog lekker ook in je drinkwater, zelfs de kinderen willen niet anders meer! Ook tijdens het sporten drink ik het graag, vul je meteen de mineralen weer aan die je uitzweet!
Keltisch zeezout kun je o.a. hier kopen
Lastig wordt het alleen als je ál het geraffineerde zout wilt gaan vermijden. In praktisch alle kant-en-klaar producten zit het… Het zou een te grote stap zijn voor deze week alle geraffineerde producten met zout uit je huis te bannen, we gingen het rustig aan doen, weet je nog? Misschien kun je een alternatief vinden in de natuurvoedingswinkel met minder zout? Of je koopt alleen die producten met heel veel zout niet meer. Uiteindelijk is het de bedoeling dat je je eten zelf gaat maken, dan weet je precies wat er in zit en kun je alle rottigheid er uit laten, maar rustig aan!
Heb je wel eens behoefte aan een hartige snack, iets zoutigs? Dikke kans dat je lichaam eigenlijk roept om mineralen en andere voedingsstoffen. Die hang naar zoute snacks zal van zelf minderen naar gelang je meer en meer Echt Eten, dus voedzaam eten eet.
Ha Iris, grappig dat je dat je dat nu zegt over guacemole. Niet dat ik het ooit koop (maak het altijd zelf), maar las het toevallig vanmorgen in de krant: in een potje guacemole zit 0,7 gram avocadopoeder. 0,7 gram! Poeder! De vraag is dan natuurlijk: wat zit er wel in?
Ja, ik heb het geloof ik ooit een bij Foodwatch gezien, wat een oplichterij dat soort dingen vaak gewoon zijn! Net als Foodwatch probeer ik maar een beetje aan bewustwording te doen;-)
