Sometimes a teacher wonders just how much of what she teaches really impacts the "class." I know changing to whole, live, clean foods seems like a daunting task to many of you..........but I believe it is the HUB of healthy living, even paramount above exercising, supplementation, etc. My blog only uses the word, "WEIGHT" to get readers into the content ;-) Weight maintaining is going to follow if the principles I teach are gradually introduced into one's lifestyle. Well, surprisingly, I received several messages from someone who signs off as MJB, her initials, LOL, not the beverage....and she is gracious enough to let me share her story. I do it as encouragement, to ALL of you who have the desire to make the change for healthy living, longevity, and to take care of one of the greatest miracles we have, our bodies! So here is her message. And note, she had health issues galore, and was discouraged with her lack of energy, headaches, bronchitis and colds, etc. So this really was important for her to make a change.
I feel great most days, have some to go, but I have to say, since last early fall, no
wheat and no dairy have made a BIG difference in my daily complaints. Stomach pains have disappeared, have headaches almost never anymore, had ONE bout of bronchitis couple of weeks ago, that in itself is a miracle!!! Usually would have had 3 by now! So I attribute the change in my food changes to my good fortune. AND THANK YOU LINDA!!! Really, things are so much better, I'm almost taking them for granted! I have to remind myself that it's because of some simple food changes that this has happened. And from reading your blogs! Over & over! I think about printing them out and saving them. I have used the Ech/Golden Seal with great results. I only use a bit of spray whipping cream on my pumpkin pie (don't eat the crust) and I bought Trader Joe's Parm shredded cheese but use it very sparingly. (She has done Gluten Free, Dairy free, and NON PROCESSED foods since September, used to be a fast food person at times, and ate wheat or processed wheat carbs regularly) She had many bouts with colds/and bronchitis, had little energy and headaches and aches and pains, so this is an amazing tesitmonial. Her ONE success is enough for me. I feel so privileged to have given enough information that she implemented it, with yes ups and downs, but I want to personally tell her, and the many others of you are on the same journey, TY. I have one of you out there, you know who you are, who has lost 20 pounds, and one in Utah, who has lost over 40 and I think could teach ME about how to REPROGRAM to healthier, delicious, alternative, BODY EMPOWERING foods. She has also been a HUGE inspiration to me, initials CC! So please, ALL of you continue to just strive for making simple changes. An elephant is never eaten in one bite I always say! Congratulations if you even have the desire to make a change. Please do go back through past blog posts and watch for new ones as they appear! I am grateful that I turned my lifestyle around decades ago, so that today, I can enjoy the benefits I would never have imagined possible. You are what you eat. You are what you think. Exercise is vital. But you can be thin and not live to your full capacity and heaven forbid, have you ticking time bomb, predisposed illness show up at any time that you do NOT fortify against it with A LOT of the good and just a Little of the bad. HAPPY 2012. May it be a healthy, happy year for all of you. TY MJB, it was all WORTHWHILE !! And you definitely made my day, my year, made me SMILE!
