I'm all in!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm all in!
ReplyDeleteGlen, I'm doing the adrenal test today. I definitely have anxiety about having no caffeine today, but the last two days I was so fatigued I could barely get off the couch. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired - so I'm excited about getting everything in order with my health once and for all. Even if it means I have to lay off the caffeine. I'm scared and stressed about it, but I guess it's not good to be so dependent on something.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your commitment Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteStephanie,
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is that I will not ask you to get off caffeine until we work on balancing your energy first. I am not about torturing my clients. I know you didn't think that yesterday. LOL!

ReplyDeleteClick on this link to take you directly to the post on air purifying plants.

Get these at least in the key rooms to assist in cleaning up the air you breathe.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteIn your attachments today, you received a diet record sheet. Use this to log what you are eating and how you are reacting to your food choices. This will help us in week 3 with assessing your Nutritional ID.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteIf there is anyone that struggles with "shutting down" at night, let me know and I can discuss these tips with you.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteAs marked on your accountability form, you should be taking some deep belly breaths before meals. This balances the nervous system and allows for proper blood flow to the GI so you can optimize digestion. Eating while under stress significantly challenges digestion.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteIt's Saturday, a great day to head out to the store to pick up your air purifying plants, and set up your small lamp with a timer for waking up without stress in the morning.
Be sure to use your accountability sheets and look for improvement every day.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteExcept for Sunday, it has been a great week for sun exposure. Have you been out to get your daily sun exposure on your skin and through your eyes?
If you cannot get out in the sun as needed, be sure to pick up a full spectrum lamp for your office space.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to take your digestive aids as directed. Improving your digestion is a key to getting the most out of your Nutritional ID coming up in a couple of weeks.
Remember, this is all released in steps to create success along the way.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteYou should be consuming one quart of water per every 50lbs. of body weight per day at this point. Remember that proper hydration is your number two fundamental of health.
Also it is best to sip your water often throughout the day.
Great meeting last night Glen. I feel like I hadn't really started until last night since I missed the first meeting and was under the weather last week. Thanks for the tip on the sugar intake... I really never gave that any thought before. I know I'll be paying more attention to some of those choices I make.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is always fun for me to share about health on any level.
ReplyDeleteI should be posting a blog article in the next couple of weeks on sugar to expand for you.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteHere is the mixture for a gluten free flour that works well for baking.
2 and 1/2 cups of rice flour
1 cup of potato starch flour
1 cup of tapioca flour
1/2 cup of cornstarch
1/2 cup of bean flour (garbanzo or fava bean)
2 tablespoons of xanthan gum
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteHopefully everyone has kicked it up a notch with accountability today.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteRemember...protein style burgers, burrito bowls and sandwiches wrapped in Romain lettuce leaves. You can even steam green beans for as the vehicle for your favorite pasta sauce and cheese.
I'm all in. My goal is to loose 10 pounds and become healthier.
ReplyDeletePerfect MaryEllen, we will all stand for your goals.
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
ReplyDeleteI want everyone to remember to use gluten free foods to assist with your transition but remember, these are still poorly processed carbs that lead to blood sugar instability and insulin challenges.
Longer term it is always a good idea to consume processed carbs minimally.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteWe've shifted the accountability for deep breathing, so you should at least be achieving your deep breathing goals during one of the periods of your day. Remember, it is your number one fundamental of health.
I'm all in.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to do whatever is necessary to be able to eliminate the need for medications for hypertension, cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and reduce my weight. Ideally I would like to weigh 170 lbs. Since the start of the program I have lost 15 lbs. The charts force me to be aware of what I am eating and how well I am doing the simple things to live a healthy life like breathing, exercising, and getting sun exposure.
Awesome Ken! I am excited to be a part of these goals for you and I see know reason that you will not reach these.
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
ReplyDeleteAs you are filling out your diet record sheets, pay close attention to how your energy feels physically, mentally and emotionally after you eat. Do you make it to your next meal with good energy, without a need for snacks?
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteMake it a point today to achieve your deep breathing goals for at least two of the main time frames. Remember that the deep breathing prior to meals is to balance your nervous system and allow full blood flow to the GI tract for proper digestion.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to continue with a 100% focus on gluten free. Remember that eating gluten never feels as good as optimal health feels.
Keep up the great work!
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteProtein types...remember one of the challenges is getting enough fat. Be sure that your volume of fat consumption is approximately the same as your vegetable.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteMixed types...remember to consume the blue color coded proteins with blue color coded veggies or green with green. Your fat is about 25% of the total volume for your meal.
Greetings Mixed Types!
ReplyDeleteIt is typically easiest to pick your protein first and then find the appropriate veggie that is color coded properly.
Remember that if you want to lose weight, use the secondary food list sparingly or not at all.
Greetings Protein Types!
ReplyDeleteRemember that the typical breakfast is generally a disaster for a protein type. Think out of the box for breakfast. Maybe warm up last night's dinner for breakfast.
Greetings Protein Types!
ReplyDeleteIt is beneficial to consume your protein first, and in its entirety. This will assist your body in creating balance for the entire meal.
Greetings Mixed Types!
ReplyDeleteIt is best to consume your food together. Have a bite of protein and mix it up with a carb and some fat.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteI want to remind everyone that even though you have a significant focus on your Nutritional ID this week be sure to continue with your fundamentals and gluten free. It is the whole package.
Greetings Protein Types!
ReplyDeleteIf the veggies on your list are not available, make you next best choice which is typically a veggie that grown above ground. At the beginning though, try to consume the veggies on your list as much as possible.
Greetings Mixed Types!
ReplyDeleteA great way to put together a great fuel mix for yourself is with stews and soups. Combine the correct color coded proteins and veggies along with the needed fat to create and easy and very satisfying meal. The use of a crock pot makes this very easy.
Greetings!!
ReplyDeleteHere is the recipe for the healthy coffee replacement.
1 cup of hemp milk
1/2 cup of water
2 large heaping tablespoons of coconut milk
Generous cinnamon
Nutmeg
Clove
Use the spices to taste for your own liking.
Heat in pan on the stove top over low heat until warm.
Use the spices to taste for your own liking.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteHopefully everyone has adjusted to following their meal plan properly. If you still find yourself having challenges, step back and focus on one meal daily. Pick one meal to get right every day and from there you can build on that success.
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteBy this time you should have all or most of your check marks on your diet record sheet in the positive. If this is not the case, bring your diet record sheets on Wednesday for my review.
