It goes without saying that plant based eating has been 'on trend' as of late, and it's no surprise given the benefits that this style of dietary pattern has to offer.

Given the current climate and the rise in Australians working from home (30% of us to be exact), it is no surprise that our eating habits have changed dramatically over the past few months. According to recent data from the Australian Heart Foundation, 1 in 3 individuals indicated that their diets had ’worsened’ as a means of eating due to stress, emotion or as the result of food unavailability. 

If this all sounds too familiar and you are snacking a little too often, you are not alone. It’s important to remember that in times of uncertainty it is normal to turn to food for comfort measures or to fill a void. The main thing is that you don’t feel guilty for partaking in these behaviours and implement sustainable changes that help you feel in control around food again to keep you feeling your best.
