Here’s what Lyndi shared recently in an interview with Affordable Wholefoods.

AW:       How did you get into Wholefoods?

Lyndi:   Ever since I can remember, I struggled with my weight and was constantly yo-yo dieting. But instead of helping me achieve my dream body, dieting made me obsessed with counting calories, over exercising and depriving myself. I would eat processed foods as long as they were low in calories and fit my idea of what healthy meant!

In 2011, I was diagnosed with clinical anxiety and an eating disorder – something I’ve openly shared and spoken about on my blog. The diagnosis rocked me to the core but it was actually the life-changing moment I needed to help me rethink my relationship with food.

I learnt that eating a wholefoods diets is a simple, stress-free way to live. You don’t need to count calories or restrict – just eat real foods from nature! Since embracing whole foods, I have discovered the joy and freedom of eating again. I’ve fallen in love with food again and as an added bonus, lost over 20kg.

AW:       What do you love about eating a diet that is rich in wholefoods?

Lyndi:   I love the simplicity of eating whole foods! When you embrace whole foods instead counting calories or dieting – it’s a relief because you don’t need to read ingredients list anymore. When you eat wholefoods, you can trust that the food is good for you. Eating wholefoods means I don’t need to stress about whether something is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ anymore. It’s really so simple.

I also love how affordable it can be eat a wholefoods diet! It’s far more expensive to buy processed foods and you also miss out on the fun of making your own creation.

AW:       Do you have a favourite wholefoods recipe at the moment?

Lyndi:     I am obsessed with banana nice-cream as a yummy treat! It’s so delicious and easy to make.
