RE: My Downhill Slide to 50: Diet - How It Began

in #health7 years ago (edited)

Slow and steady wins the race. Only this is not a race. This is your health. Diet is a bad ord and sets you up for failure. Call it a change to healthier food. First, know you have a lot of support here so if you need that kick in the butt we are here for you. Second, cut out the sugary stuff. No sodas or carbonated drinks. Have sparkling water or fruit juice with added water. Third, drink lots of water. 2 or 3 litres a day. Add a squeeze of lemon to perk it up. Try to eat only fresh fruits and veggies. Eat chicken and fish. You'll soon get the hang of it and it really isn't bad. Our family changed to healthier eating 18 years ago. I can't remember when the last time I had a chocolate bar, the only thing I do remember was it wasn't satisfying and it tasted awful. Go at it slow. Change a little at a time. The weight didn'tget there overnight, so it stands to reason that it has to come off slow. Oh, and for your doctor, I'd find another one. They are not looking at you as a person. You are their meal ticket.

Thank you for your kind words :) So far I'm doing well and have implemented a lot of changes. I had to start at the start because I wanted to document the whole journey... Part 2 is nearly finished :)
