How I lost 30 lbs Easily and Effortlessly

People come up to me all the time and ask me how did I lose the weight and look so healthy.  So, I’ve decided to write a blog.   The truth is I am healthy.  I didn’t go on a diet and I didn’t try to lose the weight.  What I did do is wake up to the fact that what we put in our body has a lot to do with the function of our Body, Mind and Soul.  It affected my sleep, the ability to wake up feeling great and my energy level during the day.  I also became aware that when I put something in my body and it doesn’t feel good or causes discomfort, it’s a sign that it isn’t good for my body.  When I stopped to analyze why there’s a discomfort, it’s usually a food with very little nutrition and processed.  After eating anything made with flour, I am almost always having stomach issues.  Now, I choose to eat it a lot less.

Nutrition:  The key is to feed your body with more nutrients and that’s what I did.    For example, breakfast can be challenging especially if you don’t have time in the morning to prepare.  So, I prepare enough for a few days and leave it in the fridge.  If I feel like having bread or crackers occasionally, I will eat it with an avocado.  I call this counter balance.  If I am having something with very little nutrition, then I’ll make sure, I add something with high nutrition.  Same goes for snacking.  If I have sweet craving, I will have a yogurt instead of cake.   Today, I crave sour cream and onion chips, so I had some with a few slices off cucumbers.  I loved it and no need to feel anything but enjoyment.  For the most part, I eat what I want with a conscious intention to add more nutrition to my food. 

Mother Earth:   Bountiful food from the earth. I consciously try to incorporate at least 70 percent of foods grown from the earth.  I believe all things we need for survival is from mother nature.  That was all we lived on.  I enjoy beans and peas.  I make a colourful raw green salad and keep it in the fridge.  Preparation is very important.  It makes it easily accessible.  People don’t understand how I can eat an Apple for breakfast with a cup of tea.  I enjoy it.  It infuses my body with fiber and other nutrients.  This helps in elimination thus no excess gunk/weight stored.

Fluids:   I drink water and tea.  Occasionally, I will drink coconut water because I love it.  I do look for the ones with less sugar contents.  The canned ones have added sugar.  When it comes to alcohol, I drink very little and rare.  I’ve learned from my own body, that the effects of alcohol take a few days to leave.   The taste of Soda Pop is so toxic when I take a sip.  I find it hard to swallow.  If you take the time to find out what goes into a can of soda pop, then you’ll understand that taste of it.   You will automatically decide that you don’t want that in your body.  The only time I will drink a little juice is if there’s nothing else to drink.  Sometimes, I will dilute it with half water in order to bring down the sugar. 

So overall, I substitute healthier choices with more nutritional values.  You’ll see the difference it makes in your health.  I sure did.  I feel vital.  The side effects will be that excess weight falls off just naturally as for me.  I don’t ever feel like I’m on a diet or I’m making any sacrifice.  The fact is: I eat what my desire.

It's also worth mentioning that some medications such as birth control pills, anti-depressants and Prednisone messes with your hormones.  This is where you'll have uncontrollable cravings and always wanting to eat.  Weight gain can attribute to some medications.
