What are you fighting against or fighting for?
Weight loss, weight gain, headaches, migraines, food allergies, gluten sensitivities, celiac disease, GI issues, Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, other autoimmune diseases, type 2 diabetes, ADHD, depression, anxiety, acne, fatigue, osteoporosis, mental fogginess, high cholesterol, heart disease, emotional eating, unsteady blood sugar levels and more, alot more!
There are many health problems, illnesses and symptoms we all struggle with everyday. Do you even know what it feels like to feel good? Do you chalk your symptoms up to just getting older? Do you think it's normal to feel bloated after a meal, lethargic at the end of the day, and stressed out all the time? Do you think the only way to feel better and deal with your symptoms is through medication?
The first step in your fight is to acknowledge that there is no secret shortcut, no magic pill, no "low fat/low calorie" processed food that is going to help you feel good, and be the healthiest version of you. You have to be willing to do the work it takes to be healthy.
The next step in your Food Fight is to understand that your wellness is not always about food! Yes, we know, we are in a food fight, but to win the fight you need to make time for yourself. Your wellness also includes workouts, managing stress, simplifying, meditation, prayer, being with friends and family, or having time to do the things that bring you joy. You are important and deserve to take time out for yourself.
The third step is to accept this lifetime commitment. That is why it is called a Paleo-Primal Lifestyle and not a diet. No, you do not have to be perfect all the time. (The Chicks are not perfect, we know, shocker!) Yes, it will be a lifetime learning curve. You will learn from mistakes, you will develop new habits, you will gain knowledge about the foods you are putting in your mouth. You will learn to have more control over your own health!
Not sure if you believe us? Then you have a couple options:
- Keep doing what your doing, but please don't whine to us about your headaches, the zits on your face, how you feel old and tired all the time, that you're constipated, can't lose weight . . . you get the picture.
