Are You Paying to Get Fat?
70% of people who do restrictive
diets put these pounds back on, and 50% of them put on even more before they
started. Are you kidding me? No.
Are YOU paying to get
fatter?
There are major deal breakers that
will sabotage your weight; addressing them is critical in weight management.
You can starve yourself to 500 calories/day and still have a fatty belly. Here
are 3 hurdles as well as a glimpse at some quick solutions.
Food Intolerances
Have you noticed the gluten-free
frenzy all around? Even Subway now is going gluten-free. This shows you that
many people are making the connection between food and health: specific food
and specific symptoms. One of them is weight.
What is it?
It is believed 70% of the American
population has some form of food intolerance. It means our body is not agreeing
with some food (even if it's best quality) and sees it as toxic. Common
culprits are: gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, soy, fructose, nuts and nightshade
vegetables.
How do I know I have
it?
Food allergies are simple: you eat
a nut and you get teary eyes in five minutes. Food intolerances act up only 30
min to 3 days (yes, true) and their symptoms vary vastly from weight yo-yos,
stubborn pounds, acne, eczema, migraines, sinus, feeling tired and sleepy after
meals, etc.
You can get a blood IgG test done
but often times they are inaccurate. It's best to do an elimination diet and
nail down all the culprits.
Last tip here: the more you crave
that food, for example bread, the more likely you are to being intolerant. Good
news though: there is good life after gluten
Can I reverse it?
Not really. But eliminating the
culprit, you will feel heavens better and lose these stubborn pounds (among
other benefits).
Implementing a prescribed diet for
just a month can help most people nail down all their food issues.
Bio-individuality
Ah! If we all could only wear the
same shoe size... Not going to happen. Same as with diets.
Diets authors assume we all like,
digest and respond to food the same way. They call on scientists to create
convincing scientific "evidence" to support the diet which makes us
feel kinda "basic" (for not understanding all that jargon) or we just
Do.Not.Know. So we fall for it as the next ray of hope. Do diets work: NO. 70%
of people go back to their original weight and 50% of them put on even more
weight.
It's like paying to get fatter.
What is
bio-individuality?
Raw food? Some people feel sick
and bloated when they eat raw. Meat? Some need it to function well. Dairy? Many
people can live well without it but some do better on it. Oil is bad? Some are
and some are super helpful in losing weight (coconut butter being one, even
though it's saturated) for some people.
Not one size fits all, one
person's food is another's poison. Work with a health coach to help you develop
a plan that:
· agrees with you taste buds,
ethnic background and your digesting type
· gets you off insulin resistance,
candida and/or food intolerances
· points you to someone to check
out your thyroid health
· educates you what is true and
total BS in the food and health marketing arena.
Address those and the pounds will
melt away.
Do it only if you can
do it forever
If you don't see your current diet
as something you will eat forever, forget it. Pick a way to eat that is right
for your temperament, taste buds, body type (we are all bio-individually
different from each other, one person's food is another's poison) and makes you
fulfilled. It's OK to have the occasional pizza or burger but be clear what
will the 90% of your daily food be like. Lastly, please not expect food alone
to do it; having a solid movement plan (sports, dance, tai chi, yoga etc) and a
spiritual practice (even if it means to close your eyes and breathe for 10min,
great!) will be critical is keeping a healthy, happy weight.
What do I do?
Easy:
1. Find a way to eat that is right
for you, gets you excited when food shopping and feels like you can do it
forever. If you don't know how to start, consult a health/nutrition coach.
2. Create a realistic movement
plan that's based on what gives you joy (not have/should do) and motivates you;
pick an event to train towards, a group to join, etc
3. Start a simple 10-min breathing
exercise with your eyes closed by setting the intention for the day. Yes, that
simple.
