I realize one persons food is another persons poison.. I knew that before, but now its really starting to set in .I gave up gluten for the most part, but a tortilla here a piece of bread there.. all that gluten builds up in my system. not good. so I talked to my certified herbalist ( classmate) today He said it takes 6 months to heal from gluten so here i go.. no more crackers, bread, tortillas.. thinking just this once won hurt me because guess what it can.. one piece of bread leads to another.. a tortilla leads to another.. most things that contain gluten like breads, crackers flour tortillas are starches. they turn to sugar in the body.. when your body gets sugar it craves more sugar and its a never ending cycle. i tried the experiemnet wed.. in school we are learning dietary theories because not all our clients will eat the same way so wed i let myself eat pizza and veggie burgers.. all processed.. so i know my theory that works for my body is plant based. no more experiments. i know what works.. not going to try to fix things that are not broken. we have to listen to our bodies.our bodies are always telling us things if we tune in to hear what they have to say. my body does not do well on gluten and i have tried to justify letting gluten in my life.. well wed from my school experiment.. 80/20 or 90/10 eating.. indulging a bit.. I was doubled over in pain.. its not worth it to me and like i said in my wed log something that causes so much pain physically is it really a indulgence or is a hindrance towards reaching your goals. my goal is to live in as healthy as a body as i can.. so from now on concentrating on whole foods, a gluten free bread now and than , but no more GLUTEN.. it is poison to me. if something is poisoness you stay away from it.. you dont pick up a mushroom in the woods and eat it because it could be poisoness to you. so why would you eat a food that your body rejects.a food that will make your body lethargic and make you feel out of sorts. this is our bodies way of speaking to us.. open your ears and listen to the needs of your bodies.. not your emotional needs and wants.. there is a difference between want and needs.. our body needs whole foods and water to survive.. our body does not need that piece of cake. especially if you know what that piece of cake will do to your body.. isnt it time we start paying attention to the signs and triggers our body gives us.. I know I feel so full of energy when I eat plant based, no gluten , meat, processed sugars.. my body thrives. so my question to you is what foods does your body thrive under.. will you start listening to it instead of wanting what you want vs what your body needs. http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/14/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT stiol not feeling good from the last two days http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/13/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT so I spent all day at busch gardens with my bro. some bro and sister time great primary food. we love riding roller coasters together and its been a little while since we have gotten out on our own. well we got the meal deal.. eat all you want.. so i started off with a healthy shrimp salad.. field greens strawberries, carrots , shrimp drizzled with fresh squeezed orange juice.. took a bit of my bro choc dessert not bad.. so next place we ate.. i got a veggie burger with some fries.. not the best choice with the fries, but i thought im out i never indulge like this so why not.. next stop battered cod with afew more fries...... grapes and watermelon for dessert... last stop was veggie pizza and salad.... I kept in mind. this isn't too bad 80/20 diet 90/10 diet.. its ok to indulge .. live a little.. well needless to say some things I can not do in moderation GLUTEN is one of the,.. this was really a good experience.. I get teased about my way of eating.. being the rabbit in the family.. if its green i would keep it from the animals, but you know what.. today is over.. tomorrow.. i am back to eating my way.. i LOVE my way.. i love my indulgences .. my banana ice cream, my date nut balls, my avocado puddings.. I feel so sluggish and gross from the foods I put in my body. today .. at one point I was literally doubled over in pain.. its ok it was one day and i hardly ever eat that kind of food and you know what.. I am grateful for my body and I love treating it with good nutrition.. next time i will get the meal deal but i will stick to the salads, fruits and if i want dessert.. 3 bites of something with no guilt.. my body loves it that way. so for now i will drink water and flush out the junk I put in my body and remember this experience when i think I want to over indulge because its there because i can.. you know what i don't need to. my food taste so much better than that veggie burger.. my black bean burgers are so good for my body and my palate likes them more.. so i am not going to make this way long. im not beating myself up.. today is gone.. i had an amazing day with my bro .. i ate some really good strawberries and amazing salad and some not so good indulgences, but tomorrow is another day to start again.. the lesson of my story is be true to your body.. feed it what works for you.. moderation not deprivation.. deprivation leads to desperation, but you have to know your limits.. you have to listen to what your body tells you about the foods you put into it.. when you become one with your body and listen to it.. thats when you take your nutrition to a whole new level.. so i know what my body loves. i know what works for me.. i dont NEED those indulgences.. i mean if they leave you feeling gross and sluggish are they indulgences or they hindrances to your optimal health. http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/12/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/11/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/10/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/9/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/8/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/7/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT so I had a small achievement tonight, call it a breakthrough whatever , but it felt good.. I have went off all my prescription drugs for my Ulcerative colitis and My rheumatoid Arthritis... I am learning how to heal myself with good nutrition.. I gave up meat other than seafood, I cut out gluten, dairy, eggs.. My colitis is in remission unless I eat something that doesn't agree with it.. the RA is still a work in progress, but the achievement was.. GUYS cover your ears.. lol its that time of month for me.. I am queasy, cramping.. and I mean the first three days I can go to the ground in pain and I feel very lethargic.. My period has always been this way.. I usually take a strong ibuprofen, but since starting this school I decided to try things more natural than even what I have been doing..well mom offered me extra strength ibuprofen tonight.. I told her no thanks I really don't want to put drugs in my body that's my last resort. I mean I took myself off all my prescription meds.. so I said I will just ride it out.. so I went and I got a cup of tea.. acai blueberry. new kind I hadn't tried before .. added some clover honey.. it tasted so good.. so I drank that slowly.. did some breathing.. did some visualization.. I have what I call my happy place.. walking on the beach.. feeling the sand between my toes. the sun on my face soaking up some healthy vitamin D.. I imagine the water washing the pain away.. did some Qigong a bit and just was one with my body.. before I knew it.. my tea was gone and the cramps and the queasiness subsided.. the qigong gave me energy that I usually cant find during this time, but its amazing what you can do naturally when you get intune with your inner self. http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/6/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/5/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/4/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://peertrainer.com/Pages/lynneta6.log?date=6/3/2013 PEERtrainer lynneta6 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT
