MY diet - Part one
I feel I should address diet on my cleansing page, in response to a comment left from Erdem, this is a great subject, and I feel that I should address this. I am going to start blogging my diet, thinking this could help me, and maybe help others as well. I think a break down of what actually goes in my system, will help me see where I can make even more changes to benefit my health. Before I start this, I want to make this clear, I am not a rich man. I am going to try my best over the next few months, to change my diet. Doing this , I feel will be difficult, as I know that all natural products are the best for your body and they are not cheap. I will keep track of what I purchase and from where, and then we can evaluate how I can change my habits. I must confess, when I think about it, I eat allot of bad foods. I eat out maybe 3-4 times a week, and I also cook at home. I LOVE chocolate, and could never imagine giving it up. I hope this is going to be easier than I think it will, got to keep a good attitude about this.
If you have changed your diet, tell me more, I would like to hear who your diet effects your life.
Well changing your diet certainly isn’t easy. From one chocolate lover to another,I suggest you keep chocolate in your diet. Organic dark chocolate is the best. This is what Dr. MErcola had to say aobut chocolate consumption….
Here are some simple guidelines to follow about eating chocolate:
If you eat chocolate, only eat DARK chocolate. Dark chocolate has antioxidant properties, which can actually help to protect the body from damaging oxidative stress.
It also is far better than milk chocolate, as adding milk cancels out the chocolate’s antioxidant effects. However, please understand that just because chocolate is dark, it does not mean it is healthy. Most cocoa is processed in ways that destroy the majority of the beneficial polyphenolic bioflavanoids. But you can safely assume that all milk and white chocolate does not have these beneficial nutrients.
Only eat chocolate if you’re healthy. Chocolate, even if it is dark, still contains large quantities of sugar, and eating sugar has a profoundly negative influence on your immune system. So the key point here is that if you are sick, the absolute last thing you want to do is eat any sugars. You want to keep your diet as absolutely clean as possible. That is NOT the time to cheat on your diet.
Consume it in moderation. A small bit of chocolate can be very satisfying if you savor each bite, rather than just wolfing it down. Also, if you are constantly craving sweets, you are likely not eating the correct balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates for your metabolic type.
Lori,
Well I am glad that I don’t have to give up chocolate, I really would miss it! Thank you for the awesome information.
Keep up the great work!
