Playing around with changing what and how much I eat isn’t new for me and I have settled on basically healthy organic foods, increasingly self grown.
Once in my life I went on a 2 week diet to prepare/purify for an important event. It was lemon juice maple syrup, and it was the worst food experience I ever had because it permanently shifted my body’s metabolism, my gums were bleeding. I did lose a lot of weight but I didn’t feel purified.
I now do intermittent fasting, as in I basically never have breakfast and don’t usually eat before 10am at the earliest, often not till noon.
I came across Eric Edmeades through a Mindvalley Masterclass. I liked him, his approach and presentation. Then a friend of mine signed up for the whole 3 month WilfFit program and shared a few things. Wow, this guy is brilliant in how he goes about it. Then his mini quest: & days to Breaking up with Sugar” was made free, and I took it.
Eric makes sooooo much sense. Anyhow, it was not the super easiest week because I love my little sweet treats. While I had been maintaining a good weight, there was this belly fat that just would not leave. Sticking with the week’s experiment was easier than expected, and surprisingly, it stuck. I now still have some fruit, also sweet potatoes and some bread, but not treats and slowly that fat is being burned. After lunch there still is the faint desire for sweet, but not having it is easy. And overall, I feel better, have more energy.
I highly recommend this quest to anyone who is struggling with weight, their relationship with food, is prediabetic or who just wants to stop putting a very destructive, addictive substance into their body. You’ll learn a lot at the very least.
Is there more to a healthy “diet”? Yes, but breaking up with sugar is a very good start.
