BUT don’t
worry.
You sang that,
right? Don’t lie.
When it comes
to the foods chosen to provide required energy each day, two things matter:
time and type. For years, meal by meal,
we chose amounts based on feeling. We
chose amounts based on what servings came from the restaurant kitchen. For years, day by day, we listened to society
cramming fad diet after fad diet in our face.
One says stay away from carbohydrates.
Another says fat increases fat cells in the body. And yet, another says restriction is the
route to take.
Hold on to your
seats, I am about to bring light to such a chaotic storm of information. Our bodies require food. Would you drive a car containing enough
gasoline to travel 50 miles when your destination is 100 miles away without a
gas station in site? The plans in our
day consist of numerous activities. In
order to make it through, we need energy.
And the right kind of energy.
Each of our
systems requires different nutrients to function and must receive it DAILY. Also each system must experience rest. Hindrances include stress, malnutrition,
gluttony, purging, illness and overflowing itineraries leaving little room for
restful sleep. After experiencing these
hindrances, environmental stress or time period of strain on our bodies; we
lose the ability in our brains to recognize hunger cues. Here is where timing plays a major role in
reclaiming our health. Clean the slate
and beginning the re-feeding process.
Every 3-4 hours EAT. This process allows for constant flow of
energy supplying each system to function and work properly.
Serving sizes
must be learned. Our eyesight diminished
over the years as feelings took over. We
lost the ability to judge a serving size with the eye. Refeeding our bodies every 3-4 hours with
proper serving sizes will keep the body in balance, fueled to conquer the day
and metabolism working properly.
Metabolism will fizzle if left alone for too long; then, when fed, takes
way too long to get going again. Prevent
the metabolism from sleeping by eating every 3-4 hours, keeping it awake and
working diligently for you.
Okay, so now
for type. Take a moment and read the
following sentence repeatedly until it sinks in and overpowers society’s
lies. “IT IS NOT ABOUT COUNTING
CALORIES, IT IS ABOUT MAKING CALORIES COUNT!”
My dear
friends, quit living by a number. Eating
whole foods with limited animal protein and increased vegetable protein
releases the burden of numbers. Your
body knows exactly how to process whole foods.
You were beautifully and wonderfully made to survive on these foods, not
some knock off created in a factory. The
added chemicals, processing and artificial substances confuse the body;
therefore, slowing down all systems and revealing damage through multiple signs
and symptoms.
Take home for
today: Eat every 3-4 hours whole foods
and proper servings. You are not a
number and you need not live up to a number.
You are You! You were created for
a plan and a purpose. Fueling the body
in proper timing, listening to what the body needs and responding accordingly
will provide the requirements to serve such a purpose.
Reaching
optimal health. . .One Day at a Time!
