I think I stepped on a few toes..

For those who know me. I am so against fasting, cleansing, pills, liquid diets, quick fix and so on and so forth. I get so worked when I read the post on them. I will go back and forth and fight it all night. Thanks to my wonderful counselor , I have learned to just drop it. So for those I may have pissed off, sorry, but I will stand for what I believe in.
When I talk about the above, I have checked into what I say. I have a husband who knows more about the body than some personal trainers. He helps a personal trainer at the gym we attend. He has researched for more than 20 years. He started learning about the body when he was 15. He has learned through trail and error. He trains people for bodybuilding competitions. From the workouts to the diet. He has been dead on. He has tried the fasting and the cleansing and the pills with the advise of his first personal trainer. Big mistake. He was in awful condition and almost ended up in the hospital. He thought he was going to have a heart attack. That was the last time he touched any of that. He did not place in that competition. He was so skinny and sickly looking. He met an amazing man who knew his stuff. He took my husband under his wings and thought him so much. Food, water and exercise is the key to life as well as plenty of rest and understanding what your body is made of and how it works. From that day on, my husband listened and educated himself so much more. He went on to take 2nd out of 13 in Fresno Body Building Competition, 1st out of 9 in Monterey, 3rd out of 20 in San Jose, 2nd out of 15 in San Jose, and was in his best shape for another San Jose show where the man took the money for the entry fees and skipped town. It was a hoax.
So from experience from watching my husband and from listening to my doctor and banks, viviakay, songbyrdsweet, and all the others who have done amazing post, I believe there is only one way to do this. Eat right and exercise. It is that simple
When a post is done here about the above, it is done for weight lose. If you need to fast for religion, by all means, if that is you wish do it. We are all adults here, and we make our own decisions. All I ask is, before you do it...research A LOT, talk with your doctor. If you eat the right foods and drink water, your body will cleans itself. The pills-take the money and donate it or buy some food. Keep the chemicals out of your body.
Watch your preservatives, fast foods, fried foods, MSG, and all the other bad things, and switch them with greens, reds, purples, oranges, yellows, omega 3, whole grains, home cooked meals, olive oil, fiber, fruits, lean meats, protein, fruits, green tea, wheat, plenty of exercise and you will be fine.
This is not a race. Weight lose is a lifestyle change that is full of ups and downs and some brick walls. Stay focused, research, ask questions, avoid gimmicks, get up and move, eat all your calories, and also, if you fall off the wagon...no biggie...get up, and say to yourself...I CAN DO THIS. I WILL DO THIS. There is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it.
Step by step-day by day and you WILL MAKE IT TO YOUR GOAL.
Don't let anybody tell you different.
One more thing...love yourself.

Have a great day:flowerforyou:
