How To Eat For Your Zodiac Sign

The path to healthy eating may be written in the stars. Your zodiac sign reveals a lot about your true nature, and how you nurture yourself. I was a bit surprised when I came across this on my wanderings on the web. So I checked out my sign very skeptically and found two points that describe my eating habits. So many programs advocate weight management and the zodiac, after all, is the world’s oldest classification system. Just for fun, here is a summary of what I read. Even if you’re not into it, you still want to know what it’s all about.

Aries: (Mar. 21-Apr. 19) Don’t Skip Breakfast

It will give you the fuel you need to power through the rest of your active day.

Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 20) Approach Change Slowly

Pick one dietary resolution at a time and be patient with yourself as you slowly change your eating ways.

Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 20) Focus On Your Food

You’re a master of multi-tasking, Gemini. Yet, doing double-duty during meal times— say, eating while web surfing — can have you rushing through meals, minimizing their enjoyment. Enjoying food that captivates your interest will slow down your eating, enhancing nutrient absorption.

CANCER :  (Jun. 21-Jul. 22) Enjoy Home-Cooked Meals

Preparing food is so rewarding for nurturing Cancer as it’s an activity into which you can pour your love. Cooking more of your meals at home can nourish your body as well as your soul. After all, for you home is not only where the heart is, but also where the hearth is.

LEO: (Jul. 23-Aug. 22) Celebrate, In Moderation

Opt for a low- or no-alcohol drink to save calories. Enjoy an appetite-curbing pre-party snack to help you avoid impulsive food choices.

Virgo: (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Enjoy Homegrown Food

Since earthy Virgos are very connected to the land, tending to a garden and growing your own food is something you’ll likely dig. Grow a few pots of culinary herbs on your windowsill or in small containers.

Libra:(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  Make Mealtime Beautiful

As Libras are nurtured by beauty, making meals an aesthetically pleasing experience will make them more nourishing and will elevate a meal into an artful experience.

Scorpio: (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Temper Emotional Eating

Driven by passion, eating for solace is a trademark  when others can’t meet you on a deep emotional level. Instead of seeking unrequited consolation in a box of cookies, probe whether another nourishing activity can provide the comfort desired

Sagittarius: (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Be A Culinary Globetrotter

With a love of travel, Sagittarius has an affinity for the global and exotic. Enjoy the cuisines of far away lands to keep your diet interesting and expose you to the healthful ways of other cultures.

Capricorn:(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Invest In Eating Regularly

Focused on all that needs to be achieved, Capricorns don’t like diversions — even hunger — that can keep them from work. Yet remember: eating at regular intervals is a great investment in health and can elevate your A-Game, adding to the productivity that you cherish.

Aquarius:(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Honor Your Need For Freedom

Freedom-lovers extraordinaire. So give yourself the liberty to approach mealtime design in a way that reflects your independent streak. For example, if you’d rather eat six mini-meals than three square meals, give yourself that flexibility.

Pisces:(Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Practice Mindful Eating

While daydreaming feeds your spirit, doing so during meals can cause you to lose track of the food you are consuming. Practicing mindful eating — being present and savoring the experience of your meal — can help you feel more grounded in your body.
