Full and Energy All Day

Food Focus

I am not strict about how I eat, yet I pay attention to the frequency. It must be the NYC in me, so I enjoy a bacon, 2 eggs, and cheese on a buttery roll in the morning, opposed to what I used to eat, if I ate, a doughnut or three.

One major piece that helped me was to look at things differently was to use the Food Focus view.

With the addition of a few spoonfuls of hemp nuts, per meal, in whatever I was eating. I didn’t expect this to happen, but my craving for sugars dropped like a stone, I actually felt like I started to avoid it. I still eat sweet things, but mostly homemade or a really special treat from the bakery.

Avocados are part of any one or all of my meals and if I need a snack, which is rare, I’ll eat a handful of raw unsalted Cashews (one at a time).

I have access to a natural butcher and eat 125-150 grams of meat for lunch and or dinner. I used to eat almost double the amount of meat when I bought it at the supermarkets. I believe it is the difference between nutritious quality grass fed beef and factory concrete cattle raised on corn.

The reason this is so important to me is this:

I just followed what the so called norm of foods. I ate junk foods, but not as much as the average person. I ate breads and meats with the sides of veggies, but mostly potatos. Now, I eat what makes me full and I learned it by learning about my own health.

My accident took me down a really bad path of western medicine and being treated with harsh and dangerous opiods, like oxycodone and MS Contin. So many people around me never even questioned this protocol from my doctors at Kaiser Permanente (to me an opposite approach to health).

Jumping ahead, I met a wonderful practitioner in Dahlonega, Georgia who started me on a journey of healing my stomach, it is my path to healing my body and mind.
