The Human Being Diet

“Petronella’s aim with the Human Being Diet is to convey the impact that diet and lifestyle has on how we feel and to empower us to make the necessary changes to help us feel better. ‘If we understand the ‘whys’ it’s much easier to make the changes. In fact, armed with this knowledge and understanding, it becomes impossible to avoid or to delay making the necessary changes’. The power is in our hands; we can turn our back on chronic diseases and weight problems, by changing what and how we eat, and by choosing to change our lifestyle.“

If you’re looking to improve your health and well-being, the Human Being Diet may be just what you need. Created by nutrition expert Petronella Ravenshear, this whole-foods-based approach to eating focuses on nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods to provide your body with the fuel it needs to function optimally.

At the beginning of November 2020, I started the Human Being Diet book. Since then, I have been following the plan (you can find a full report on my journey with the plan on Instagram). And it works pretty well!

One thing I’ve learned is that the book is essential and you can’t do it without reading it in full. In the beginning, I tried to follow the plan without reading the book and it didn’t work. But once I read it cover-to-cover, I had a better understanding of the “why” behind the plan and was able to make the necessary changes.

What sets the Human Being Diet apart from other diet plans is its emphasis on individualisation and flexibility. Whether you have food allergies, intolerances, or other dietary restrictions, this plan can be tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences.

At the core of the Human Being Diet is a focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, legumes, and high-quality protein sources. By emphasising these foods, you can provide your body with the nutrients it needs to maintain good health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

To further improve your health and well-being, the Human Being Diet also places a strong emphasis on lifestyle factors such as stress management, sleep, and physical activity. These factors are critical for overall health and can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

One of the key benefits of the Human Being Diet is its flexibility. You don’t need to follow a strict set of rules or guidelines, and there’s no need to eliminate entire food groups or go hungry. Instead, you can personalise the plan to your unique needs and preferences.

Mindful eating is also a key component of the Human Being Diet. By paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, savouring each bite, and eating in a relaxed and enjoyable environment, you can improve your relationship with food and make sustainable changes to your diet.

What I appreciate most about the Human Being Diet is its emphasis on individualisation and flexibility. I have been able to personalise the plan to my unique needs and preferences, which has made it easier to stick within the long term.

So if you’re interested in trying the Human Being Diet for yourself, the first thing you should do is go and grab your book and read it in full. It’s essential for understanding the “why” behind the plan and making the necessary changes. And be sure to follow @petronellaravenshear on Instagram for additional support and inspiration!
