Okay... My 26th birthday is tomorrow. After the two year up & down cycle with my health, I want to help my body to continue to heal itself.
Right before Christmas, I did a 21 day cleanse and sugar detox that helped me loose about 10 pounds and to start my menstrual cycle after only having two cycles this entire year. I am determined, by God's Grace (i.e. His power within), to help my body regulate itself through diet, exercise, and supplements from my naturopath.
I believe it will help me to blog daily of my struggles and my successes even if only a few people are reading!
Here's the Plan:
1. Cut out all carbohydrates and sugar except for one time per week on Sunday - I can have oatmeal, 1 sweet potato, or 1/2 cup of Rice. I will be eating Real Foods - lots of veggies & protein. I will be following the Paleo Diet (check out Everyday Paleo by Sarah Fragoso).
2. Cardio (Intervals) & Weight Lifting (Heavy Weights/Fewer Reps) 6 days a week - 1 rest day (Sunday)
3. Continue supplements from my naturopath that help to regulate hormones.
Finally, continue to check out my almond meal treats & body products. I am about to start a line of anti-aging & herbal lotions, soaps, and lip balms - I am still testing recipes. These body products will help heal and prevent rather than "just" moisturizing your skin. Also, my treats are "paleo" friendly and are made with stevia or agave nectar. I have a new bread that is absolutely delicious! Please check it all out. KEEP PINNING MY PAGE SO MORE PEOPLE CAN GET ACCESS TO GLUTEN-FREE AND ALL-NATURAL BODY PRODUCTS. OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS THIS!
I'm reading and rooting for you! Still trying to get balanced myself in my approach to food. Have you ever heard of "The Rules of Normal Eating" and "Intuitive Eating" - these are two books my counselor reccomended to start to think about food in a new way and form a new relationship with it. I know you have specific dietary needs, so it might not all apply. Love ya!
