Maybe you have seen those commercials for the latest and greatest medication...but with all of the potential side effects why would you want to use it?
I think it is sad that we have been so brainwashed into believing that drugs/medication are the future for our health and well being! How many of you actually care or even think about the food you put into your body on a daily basis? If I had to guess I would say the percentage of those who actually think about it is very very small.
Think about this...if you believe that medication/drugs are your future...and those drugs/meds are ingested via your mouth (and sometimes via injection)....How in the world can you deny that the food you ingest via your mouth (never by injection) is anything but medication for the body? If you put melted lard into your car instead of motor oil, how long before your engine seizes up? Probably not very long, right? Well the same thing is happening with your body but at a slower rate. Keep feeding yourself processed non nourishing "food" and eventually you will be hanging out at the drugstore waiting on your prescriptions that will only temporarily make you feel ok. If that is your future then get on with it....get busy making plans for a tiring, painful old age because that is what will happen. And that old age will probably start setting in in your late 50's or early 60's.
Oh I know...blah blah blah...you have heard it all before. Well I just wanted to say it again.
I am not perfect with my nutrition...no one I know is....but making a conscious effort to live a healthy lifestyle is what it's all about. So please look inside yourself....take a good hard look at your lifestyle and decide what your next step will be. Only you have the power to make a difference in your own health and wellness.
"The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison." Ann Wigmore

Preparing for the Ultimate Reset
Focusing on healthy eating and exercise for the next couple of weeks...that is what I shall be doing. I will be starting Beachbody's Ultimate Reset on July 25th and I feel like I need to ramp up to it. From all that I have read and heard about this program I am very excited about starting and finishing it!
I wanted to post about it and answer a few questions...questions that I would ask someone getting ready to do the Ultimate Reset.
What makes you want to do this now?
Simple...I NEED a RESET! Sadly I have allowed myself to get off track with my nutrition more than I care to admit. I won't tell you about the excuses I have for this...I will just say it happens and I feel very confident that the Ultimate Reset will help me get myself back on track.
How will you eat after the Ultimate Reset is over?
Well that is still up in the air. Personally I cannot see me giving up meat completely. I could give up dairy without too much worry...but meat...well that is just something I will have to wait and see about.
At one time you were mostly Primal with your nutrition...what has changed?
Personally I feel that primal nutrition is a great way to go...the only problem that I think most people have with primal eating is that they do not consume enough vegetables and they think that meats and fats are A-OKay for the majority of their intake. I know that Mark Sisson advocates eating a lot of veggies, so what I learned from him was definitely beneficial. The proper balance of veggies with meat and fats is something that many (including myself) struggle with....not that we all admit it.
My outlook on my nutrition is one of balance. I know the Ultimate Reset takes you to a Vegan status in week 3....and I think it will help me understand what Vegan-ism truly is. I will possibly be able to balance my nutrition because of it. I am not saying I will go Vegan...I really don't see that happening. But I will have a better relationship with veggies which will help me incorporate more of that into my daily eating.
What about exercising....won't you miss working out everyday?
I am not that addicted to exercise. I will miss working out...but I can take a few weeks off without much mental debate...especially since I know how much my body will benefit from it!
All in all I am very excited to do the Ultimate Reset...I look forward to dropping a few pounds and gaining better mental clarity from it.
