We Couldnt BelieveThis Worked!And heres how it worked
Dear Friends,
We were once told to count our calories tolose weight. Measure
every meal on a scale,look up the calories then record that in
a
daily food diary and total that up at the endof the day.
Are you kidding me!
Were not scientists ormathematicianswe just want to be
healthy and lose that Christmas 10 poundsplus last years15 if
you know what Im talking about.
Weve tried just about every diet there was but nothingseemed to
keep it off; every pound we lost we gained 2 moreback. We often
discussed what we were going to do next butwere so frustrated and
running out of ideas on our own. Bynow my husband was experiencing
chronic pain, arthritis andnerve pain, and I was always tired with
no energy. It wasawful.
Just when we were about to give up forever, we wereintroduced to
Danielle, our Registered Holistic Nutritionist.We have to tell you,
in the beginning we were very skepticalabout the whole process. But
we had nothing to lose at thispoint and so we decided to give it a
try. In a nut shell, here iswhat she taught us
1. Calories give no indication of quality of foods being
eaten. Just because a packaged food is low in caloriesdoesnt
mean its not full off artificial preservatives,sugars, flavourings
and colourings; rancid oils; GMOs;other non-food additives.
2. Counting calories is unnecessary when your food doesnthave
labels. We were encourage to eat outside the box -literally and
figuratively. Moving away from processedfoods enabled us to become
more creative with wholefoods ingredients by making more meals at
home fromscratch.
3. Counting calories was stressful. Stress around our mealtime
was disrupting the digestive process by activating thewrong areas
of our nervous system; we are more likely toincompletely digest our
meal resulting in loss of nutrientabsorption and unfavourable
effects like bloating and gas.
4. She showed us how to live life not count calories!
We have finally found something that works. We are soexcited.
Not only did my husbands pain levels drop, but sodid our pant size.
It has sparked a feeling of wellness and anincrease in energywe are
motivated to continue.
Ed and Barb
