QuestionI have been struggling most of my life with eating well and working out. I seem to cycle and start to eat ice cream, fast food, pizza, etc all of the forbidden foods. I gain weight feel lethargic, very irritable, I feel sick and disgusting when I look at my body. I battle depression and whenever I start to put on weight it kills me in the sense I feel so gross and I become reclusive. I sit home feeling like an old man when I am actually mid thirties. I need someone to help me stay motivated and get my act together so I can be happy again and productive at work. I am sick of being tired and crabby all of the time. Help me!
AnswerOkay Ben, TODAY is the first day of the rest of your life.
That forbidden "food" is not real food, it is flavored packing material that only a human would mistake for food. I have a friend who had a burger collection - she put unwrapped burgers on her mantle for months. A few would shrink a little, but most did not change. No bugs, no mould even - like I said, nothing but a human would go for it.
Refined sugar and refined flour is as addictive as nicotine and cocaine. I am not making this up, it is clinically documented. The good news is when you get this totally out of your diet for 30 days, stick to real food and your body starts to crave the good stuff and sweet tooth falls out.
About the word diet - it has come to mean something that you go on and off of. Assured failure. You start eating real food for the rest of your life. Whole grains, fresh produce, very little protein, lots of plain water. more on real food at www.premiumfuel.com
The best thing for depression is putting your body in motion. Walk, climb a flight of stairs or two, dance to your favorite tune, maybe while the coffee maker is working in the morning, march in place whle reading email... Find something more fun - my favs is sea kayaking and bicycling.
Start taking actions, even what may seem the smallest thing starts to add up and changes what you do, it gets effortless. If happens, one day you look at a fudge brownie and see a skull and crossbones.
