South Beach, Atkins, low-carb, vegan.... do any of these titles ring familiar? If you're like me, they probably ALL ring very familiar. Unfortunately society is more concerned with making money than they are with making people healthy... that is the bottom line. Not only is it sad, but it's a serious issue. By 'prescribing' people to one specific (and often strict) diet, without taking the person's unique constitution into account, this can set someone up for health problems down the road. I had a client a few years ago who was struggling to be vegetarian because she heard it was healthy to avoid meat. She was suffering with horrible skin rashes, candida (yeast overgrowth), and sugar binges. That doesn't sound like a healthy diet to me! I asked her what her blood type was, and when she told me, I urged her to experiment with shifting her diet to incorporate healthy, organic animal products from time to time. Not only did her health issues clear up pretty much immediately, but, to her surprise, eating organic, grass-fed meat actually improved her energy levels! I have also experienced people who will feel very sluggish after eating the exact same food. The point is, one person's food may be another person's poison. A great tip to keep in mind is to eat as many WHOLE, unprocessed foods as possible.. these include, fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, organic grass fed, hormone free animal products, beans, and whole grains.
Forget about labeling yourself... you are unique and beautiful as you are! And guess what? When you drop the identification with a label, not only are you free to be yourself, but noone else will ever compare! How great is that?!
