SHHHH, Listen, Listen, Listen

Find what you like and what your body likes!

It is always nice to have advice and help from others but what is most important is to listen to your body! What do you like to eat? What does your body like you to eat? What activities do you enjoy? What activities does your body enjoy? When I say "what does your body like to eat and what activities does your body enjoy" that does not mean I am trying to trick you into thinking you can only eat leafy greens. I mean how do you feel after you eat certain foods and how do you feel after a specific work out. I think too many people believe what they like, that other people should like it too. Or what helped them lose weight or feel better will help all others as well. False! We are all our own individuals and yes some times we find success in others advices but not always. Our body knows us best and we need to learn to listen to it! It can tell us many things!


So instead of fallowing a diet you are miserable on or pushing your body to extremes you are not enjoying start journaling!! Find what makes you feel good and what makes you feel bad. You will find more success in this than any diet! The best part is that it is a life change! So instead of fallowing a diet and losing 30lbs then months or years later gaining it back and more cause you are unable to follow the rules any longer. Listen, listen I promise you will learn so much about yourself and when you discover what your body needs you will lose and keep it off. Plus there are minimal rules involved!

 I have many food inheritances and I never realized how badly I felt when I was eating the wrong things for my body. Things my body was not accepting as fuel because it was not the fuel my body needed.So instead of doing a generic food log I made a list. I took a piece of paper and drew a line down the middle. At the top I wrote " Jenn's Foods what I feel good after eating" then I wrote "Likes" on the left side of the line and "Dislikes" on the right. I discovered that my favorite tasting foods are often on my "likes" list. With out me realizing my body was working together trying to help me see what it needed to eat to fuel my body and feel my best! Now, I do think that there are great ways of eating to help people and everyone should try to find what works for them! You can even take a little here and there and make your own plan!

 I will have more post of what foods can help with what. Like what to eat if suffering from candida and what foods to avoid like coffee and foods to add like coloreds as I learn more in school and from others!

Healthy Life = Happy Life
