Just a little reminder that when you focus on your health holistically (mind, body, spirit) your weight will take care of itself.
When I began my journey to heal my eczema from the inside out, it was never about losing weight.
But as a result of the new lifestyle I led, I weighed less in my late twenties than I did as a teenager.
Focusing on a number on the scale is a skewed idea of health.
Use the looking glass of how you feel. Clearing your skin. Reducing inflammation. Having more energy. Being in a better mood. NOT having an upset stomach all the time. Giving your body the nutrients it needs to function at its best.
It’s about being the healthiest version of you within every cell of your body.
Food carries information. It tells your body how to feel. Food either fights dis-ease in the body or fuels it - there is no in between.
Eating closest to the source is the easiest way to know you’re eating a healthy diet. You want your food to come from a plant rather than be made in a plant.
It’s not about the low-fat, sugar free or calorie counting.
These are toxic and outdated ways of thinking. Fat doesn’t have to be bad. Sure, an avocado is full of (GOOD) fat, but do you really think fat free, sugar free pudding is a healthier choice?
What about diet soda? “Sugar free” and “no calories,” but is that really the better choice for your body than a nice, big Cobb salad? Or even roasted chicken with quinoa and veggies!
There is no one size fits all diet, but eating plenty of veggies, clean proteins & whole grains will make your body much happier and much less confused than the chemical filled processed foods. That's what keeps it working at its finest and you feeling your best.
