Most of you guys know the general direction you should go to become a healthier person. But what many of us don't see is we can't do what everyone else is doing. I know women who will do these diets just become it worked for Susan or Linda or whoever. But we often find ourselves frustrated and confused when we aren't reaching our healthful goals when we adpat to a certain program of dieting. Please, my dear readers, don't fool yourself. We don't need diets, we need alterations in lifestlye. A diet suggests short term commitment/change for a result. But a lifestyle is a long term, personal and deep commitment for a longlasting result. You will not be tortured by your way of exercising or eating if it is in your lifestyle. But before I rabbit trail, let me share this with you. We all can stop eating sugar and lower our portions and start exercising. But will this bring us a healthy body? The answer is: not always. We can't go by a checklist, people. Example, I cook for my beloved fmaily sometimes and when I do I have to alter the recipe from the cookbook normally and each plate looks different and has a different portion.Take one meal for instance: BLT. My little brother eats his BLT as is, but like the bread hot and buttered. My older brother hates mayo on his and wants a little mustard but beef bacon also and maybe one layer of lettuce (he hates vegetables). My father loves it and wants is hot with something usually strange or unsual with it like chuntey or salsa and cheese on it. My mother will eat it with out the bread usually add cheese, lettuce, and salad dressing. And me? lol I eat the lettuce... :P So you see, even with one simple meal, our preference and taste differ. Each one of us is uniquely differnt and can't be put in a box. So what I'm saying is KNOW YOUR BODY. I just now am starting to know how my body reacts and what it needs and what it hates. This plays a huge role in your dieting. This is why I will be introducing a series of points in the next few weeks called Basically You: Learning More About YOU.
Hope you have a Happy Monday!
God Bless you!
