The Autumn season is normally dry and cool. Winds begin to pick up during this season, and leaves begin to change color and fall off of trees, there is also a glut of starch based fruit and vegetables available during autumn.

  • Season of plenty, great ripening season for fruit and vegetables
  • Nutrition- High Insulin= Feast before Famine= Relative Higher Carb
  • Increased fat storage= serotonin into melatonin for hibernation period
  • Hence- we crave carbs when we are tired, not when hungry
  • High Fibre
  • Lots of fruits
  • Lots of roots
  • Sleep- approx. 8 hours- but a graduated earlier bedtime to transition to winter.
  • Movement- Greater, potentially more intense and sustained movement.
  • Stress- A calmer period of refeeding following the frenzy, food scarcity coming too early here would cause great stress.
